27  Sampling plan information for regional functions
  A sampling plan that is prepared when a regional function is developed, updated or validated in accordance with Subdivision 12 to Subdivision 16 must include the following information:
 (a) a description of the intended allometric domain to be sampled;
 (b) details of the selection process for biomass sample plots, including seed numbers used by the pseudo-random number generator when undertaking processes such as:
 (i) generating a grid overlay; and
 (ii) selecting grid intersections as intended location coordinates for biomass sample plots;
 (c) the number of grid intersections that occur wholly within the biomass sites;
 (d) details of the selection process for biomass sample trees, including:
 (i) size classes; and
 (ii) number of trees within each size class; and
 (iii) seed numbers used by the pseudo-random number generator when selecting biomass sample trees;
 (e) maps showing:
 (i) the location and extent of biomass sample sites; and
 (ii) the location of biomass sample plots as established by actual location coordinates and as sampled in accordance with section 70; and
 (iii) the grid overlay applied to the biomass sample sites; and
 (iv) the randomly selected grid intersections defining the intended location coordinates of biomass sample plots;
 (f) the intended location coordinates and actual location coordinates of biomass sample plots;
 (g) the actual location coordinates of biomass sample trees;
 (h) target and actual plot sizes for each biomass sample plot.
