Incompetence
SECTION 3: COMMENTS SUPPORTING REVIEW REQUEST
Please elaborate the reason for requesting a review on the issues you indicated in section 2 above

1) Refer to paragraph: VVS for PoA version 02, Para 340 (a)

The baseline water source is mentioned as piped/ borewell/others etc in the emission reduction sheet. The included CPA-DDs and the monitoring report) indicate that UltraFlo WPS and Multi-barrier UV will be fixed and applicable for piped. However, it is not clear from verification report how the DOE confirmed whether the implementation of the WPS is in accordance with the description provided in the included CPA-DDs and whether the installed WPS is compatible with the available water source. Therefore, the DOE shall verify how it determined that the WPS is implemented in accordance with description contained in the included CPA-DDs and the installed WPS is compatible with the available water source. Please refer to paragraph340(a) of VVS for PoA version 02.

 

2) Refer to paragraph: VVS-PoA, version 2, paragraph 344, Paragraph 15 of AMS-III.AV version 4

The DOE shall further substantiate how it has verified the compliance of the monitoring plan with the applied methodology, in particular the monitoring frequency of parameter “operational units”, since the CPA-DDs states that the monitoring frequency for the parameter as “At least once per verification or biennially as per the monitoring requirements in the methodology”, which could lead to possibilitieswhereby the monitoring frequency not meeting methodology requirement (i.e. at least once every two years) when the verification / monitoring period is conducted with a time gap of more than two years.

Please refer to Paragraph 15 of AMS-III.AV version 4 and VVS-PoA, version 2, paragraph 344

 

3) Refer to paragraph: VVS for PoA version 02, paragraph 304(.c)

The DOE cross-verified continuous availability of safe drinking water based on the interviews with the users and delivery notes, and further confirmed that the subsequent supplies are reported in the emission reduction spreadsheet. However, it is observed in the emission reduction spreadsheet that:

  1. There is no verification opinion on the implemented water purifier capacities (Tab "Assumptions" cells D9 and D10) of 340,000 L/unit (for UltraFlo WPS); Water Purification Capacity of one unit of Small UV (1GPM)- 2,044,116 L/unit and Water Purification Capacity of one unit of Large UV (2GPM)- 4,088,232 L/unit;
  2.  The residual capacity (i.e. Tab “Sales Database” column AA) data is not traceable. The residual capacities from MP3 (i.e. column AC of tab “Sales Database”) are given without any elaboration by CME.
  3.  The residual capacity of some purification devices indicates system continuous running until year 2073 or more, which is even beyond the device lifespan as described (i.e. 5 years) in page 15 of the monitoring report;
  4.  All the schools in the CPAs indicate zero continuous supplies during this monitoring period (i.e. column ‘AD’ of tab ‘Sales Database’).

Taking into account the above, the DOE is requested to;

  1. Substantiate how it has verified and concluded the installed water purifier capacities of 340,000 L/unit (for UltraFlo purifier); 2,044,116 L/unit for Capacity of one unit of Small UV (1GPM)- and 4,088,232 L/unit for Water Purification Capacity of one unit of Large UV (2GPM);
  2. Submit a traceable emission reduction spreadsheet for the calculation of the system residual capacities;
  3. Elaborate how a system’s continuous running end date can be beyond its lifespan (5 years);
  4. Substantiate continuous availability of safe drinking water to schools considering some water purifiers had no residual capacity from the previous monitoring period and received no supplies during the current monitoring period.

Please refer to paragraph 304(c) of VVS for PoA version 02.

 

4) Refer to paragraph: VVS-PoA, version 2, paragraph 359 (d).

The DOE shall further substantiate how it has verified the appropriateness of applying the entire dayscovered by the monitoring period when calculating parameter QPWy (i.e. quantity of purified water fordrinking during the year y), given the facts that the systems do not service the entire population (i.e. thestudents) during the school holidays. Further, the DOE should also check following clarifications issuedby the Meth Panel in this regard.
