Please consider the following points as a part of the previous comment that we had submitted on Pakke Bung-II.  

-As mentioned in the previous submission, the project in question is part of a series of HEPs (48 MW Pakke Bung I, 15 MW Pakke Bung II, 36 MW Pakke Bung III, and 12 MW Pakke Bung IV, totaling 111 MW), all of which are applying for CDM status via the developer, Energy Development Company Ltd (EDCL). It is conspicuous that the PP evades mention of the series of projects in its PDDs, and more so it fails to mention the distance between the point where the tail race of the upstream project deposits water back to the river and the submergence point of the downstream project.  This is significant as the Ministry of Environment and Forests (India) mandates that at least 1 Km of free flowing river must remain between hydro power projects that occur consecutively on a single river.  Since the project developer hasn’t proven that the four projects are providing the required kilometer of free flowing stream between the dams, the project authority should have applied for CDM jointly.  Since they have not done so, this should immediately disqualify this project from receiving CDM validation.
