Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to complete all the PDD sections for the description of the project activity as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
On page 18 of the PDD it is stated that "It is expected after the project activity, the baseline pond system will become aerobic". On page 51-52 of the VR, it is reported that the methane correction factor for the open ponds after project wastewater treatment system is installed has been taken as zero. Accordingly the project emissions from baseline pond system is calculated as zero. However, the validation report and PDD do not provide information on how the baseline pond system will become aerobic after project implementation, and will remain in aerobic conditions with methane correction factor = 0 during the lifetime of the project activity.
2: The DOE is requested to state if the baseline methodology is correctly applied to calculate project/baseline emissions, leakage and emission reductions as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 92(d).
a. As per page 42 of the PDD, the baseline methane emissions from degradable organic carbon in treated wastewater discharged in the baseline are determined as per equation 6 where MCF value has been taken for discharge of wastewater to sea, river or lake as 0.1. The DOE has not justified how the methodology has been correctly applied to calculate baseline emissions because as per information on page 3 of the PDD the treated wastewater is discharged for land application and not to sea, river or lake.
b. As per paragraph 27 (b) of AMS III.H version 16, the an ex ante measurement campaign shall be implemented to determine the COD removal efficiency of baseline system and the measurements should be undertaken during a period that is representative for the typical operation conditions of the systems and ambient conditions of the site. The PDD and Validation Report do not define how the 10 day measurement campaign to determine the COD removal efficiency was conducted during period that was representative for the typical operation conditions of the systems and ambient conditions of the site.
c. As per CAR B7 discussed on page 23 of the validation report the 10 day COD campaign to determine COD removal efficiency of baseline system was conducted during 2012-03-20 to 2012-03-30. However, as per information on page 21 of the PDD the 10 day COD campaign was conducted during March 2011. The PDD and validation report do not provide consistent information.
