17  Project treatment facility baseline emissions

       (1) The baseline emissions for a project treatment facility for a reporting period are worked out in accordance with this section.

       (2) If sampling was undertaken from the operation of the deep open anaerobic lagoons replaced by anaerobic digesters at a project treatment facility for the purposes of working out baseline emissions for the facility, the project proponent may choose to work out baseline emissions for the project treatment facility using either Subdivision 4 or Subdivision 5.

            Note: The samples will only be used if the project proponent uses Subdivision 4.

       (3) If sampling was not undertaken from the operation of the deep open anaerobic lagoons replaced by anaerobic digesters at a project treatment facility for the purposes of working out baseline emissions for the facility, the project proponent must work out baseline emissions for the project treatment facility using Subdivision 5.

       (4) Whichever of Subdivision 4 or Subdivision 5 is used for working out baseline emissions for a project treatment facility for the first reporting period for the project, the same Subdivision must be used for working out baseline emissions for the project treatment facility for subsequent reporting periods for the project, subject to subsection 24(2).

            Note: There are consequences if certain parameters are not determined correctly: see section 24.
