The methodology (AM0001, version 5, pages 5-6) requires the following with regard to the determination of w: "The historical waste generation rate w shall be estimated for the three most recent years of operation up to 2004. (...) The value of w is set at the lowest of the three historical annual values estimated (...). If insufficient data is available for the calculation of HFC23 release for all three most recent years of operation up to 2004, then the default value for w to be used is 1.5%." The PDD (page 3) states that the plant was expanded from a capacity of 3,000 tons to 25,000 tons in 2001. This would allow to use historical data for the three years 2002, 2003 and 2004 to establish w. In contrast to the information in the PDD, the project participants explain in response to CAR #1, and the DOE confirms, that the expansion was completed only end of 2002 (page 20-22 of the verufication report). If the capacity expansion was completed in 2002, the required three years of operational data to determine w are not available for the plant as registered and described in the PDD. In this case, a default value of 1.5% should be used according to the methodology.
