23  Outline of steps—conducting full inventory or PSP assessment
 (1) To conduct a full inventory within a stratum, the project proponent must undertake the following steps:
 (a) develop and document an appropriate sampling plan, in accordance with Subdivision 3;
 (b) estimate ex ante, in accordance with Subdivision 4, the minimum number of:
 (i) TSPs that will be needed to conduct the full inventory; and
 (ii) if relevant—PSPs that will be needed to conduct any PSP assessment;
 (c) determine the intended location coordinates of the TSPs and, if relevant, PSPs, in accordance with Subdivision 5;
 (d) establish TSPs and, if relevant, PSPs, in the stratum, in accordance with Subdivision 6;
 (e) visit TSPs and collect data, in accordance with Subdivision 7;
 (f) estimate biomass and calculate mean plot carbon stock, in accordance with Subdivision 8;
 (g) conduct an ex post analysis, in accordance with Subdivision 9;
 (h) if the requirements of the ex post analysis are met—calculate carbon stock for the stratum in accordance with Subdivision 10;
 (i) if the requirements of the ex post analysis are not met—revise the full inventory in accordance with Subdivision 11.
 (2) A PSP assessment may only be undertaken if PSPs have been established in accordance with subsection (1) as part of a full inventory.
 (3) To conduct a PSP assessment within a stratum, the project proponent must undertake the following steps:
 (a) develop and document an appropriate sampling plan, in accordance with Subdivision 3;
 (b) visit PSPs and collect data, in accordance with Subdivision 7;
 (c) estimate biomass and calculate mean plot carbon stock, in accordance with Subdivision 8;
 (d) conduct an ex post analysis, in accordance with Subdivision 9;
 (e) if the requirements of the ex post analysis are met—calculate carbon stock for the stratum in accordance with Subdivision 10;
 (f) if the requirements of the ex post analysis are not met—revise the PSP assessment or conduct a full inventory, in accordance with Subdivision 11.
 (4) When conducting a full inventory or a PSP assessment, the most recent map of the stratum and the most recent stratum area estimate generated in accordance with Division 1 must be used.
