for all waste mix types mentioned in subsection 5.11(1).
t is the reporting year.
M is the number of months before commencement of methane generation at the landfill plus 7.
Σi is the sum for all waste mix types mentioned in subsection 5.11(1).
Note 1: For the definition of reporting year, see the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008.
Note 2: For the source of the equation included in:
(a) section 5.4D, see Volume 5, Chapter 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, equation 3.6; and
(b) the definition of ∆Cost, see Volume 5, Chapter 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, equation 3.5; and
(c) the definition of ∆Cat, see Volume 5, Chapter 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, equation 3.A1.13; and
(d) the definition of ∆Cait, see Volume 5, Chapter 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, equation 3.2.
Note 3: For each reporting year to which subsection 5.4(3) applies, use the equation mentioned in section 5.4B
Note 4: If the result of the first equation in subsection 5.4(3):
(a) was, for a previous reporting year or years, greater than the collection efficiency limit for the landfill calculated in accordance with section 5.15C; and
(b) is, for the reporting year for which the result is calculated, (the current reporting year), less than or equal to the collection efficiency limit for the landfill calculated in accordance with section 5.15C;
 use:
(c) the calculation in section 5.4B to calculate the change in the opening stock of carbon for the final reporting year in which the result of that equation is greater than the collection efficiency limit for the landfill calculated in accordance with section 5.15C; and
(d) the calculation in section 5.4C to calculate the closing stock for that reporting year.

5.5  Criteria for estimating tonnage of total solid waste
  For the purpose of estimating the tonnage of waste disposed of in a landfill, the tonnage of total solid waste received at the landfill during the year is to be estimated using one of the following criteria:
 (a) as provided in section 5.6 (criterion A);
 (b) as provided in section 5.7 (criterion AAA);
 (c) as provided in section 5.8 (criterion BBB).

5.6  Criterion A
  For paragraph 5.5(a), criterion A is:
 (a) the amount of solid waste received at the landfill during the year as evidenced by invoices; or
 (b) if the amount of solid waste received at the landfill during the year is measured in accordance with State or Territory legislation applying to the landfill—that measurement.

5.7  Criterion AAA
  For paragraph 5.5(b), criterion AAA is the direct measurement of quantities of solid waste received at the landfill during the year using measuring equipment calibrated to a measurement requirement.

5.8  Criterion BBB
  For
