Submission incomplete:
The DOE has validated that the implementation of the sampling plan for the two monitored parameters, Pn,i,y (Weight fraction of the waste type i in the sample n collected during the year y) and FCFi (Fraction of fossil carbon in total carbon of waste type i) as described in the monitoring report, has met the requirements of the monitoring plan in the registered PDD. Furthermore, for the parameter Pn,j,y, the VCR states that the DOE was able to verify that the size and frequency of sampling are statistically significant with a maximum uncertainty range of 20% at a 95% confidence level by checking the statistical analysis of the sample measurements, which was presented in the submitted ER calculation spreadsheet.



However, the ER calculation does not present a similar statistical analysis of the sampling measurement for the parameter FCFi. The DOE is requested to further clarify how it has validated that the the size and frequency of sampling for the parameter PCFi complies with all the requirements as per the registered monitoring plan, as required by paras. 362 and 363 of the CDM validation and verification standard (VVS) for project activities, Version 03.0 and para. 261 of the CDM project standard for project activities, Version 03.0.
