41  Adding non-fire natural disturbances to project scenario
 (1) This section applies if a natural disturbance:
 (a) occurs in a carbon estimation area; and
 (b) is not a fire; and
 (c) kills trees; and
 (d) affects more than 5% of the carbon estimation area; and
 (e) reduces crown cover to less than 20%.
 (2) The project proponent must model the natural disturbance as a thinning event in the project scenario.
 (3) The project proponent must enter the date of the natural disturbance into FullCAM.
 (4) If the natural disturbance occurred over more than 1 day, the project proponent must enter the date on which the natural disturbance began.
Note For example, if the natural disturbance occurred between 12 July 2017 and 15 August 2017, the date of the natural disturbance is 12 July 2017.
 (5) If the date on which the natural disturbance began is not known, the project proponent must enter the day on which the natural disturbance was identified.
 (6) The project proponent must enter an estimate of the proportion of the carbon estimation area that was affected by the natural disturbance.
Note 1 See Part 5 for record-keeping requirements for natural disturbances.
Note 2 See the FullCAM Guidelines for instructions on how to model a natural disturbance in the project scenario.
