16                    WBG,CH4      Fraction of the volume of biogas sent to combustion devices that is methane                                      Fraction                      If monitored continuously, estimated in accordance with Division 2.3.6 of the NGER (Measurement) Determination. Frequency—subject to subsection (2), continuously or not at all  If monitored continuously:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   (a) for equation 17, the average value for a time interval not greater than 1 hour must be paired to measurements of QBG,h for the same time interval; and
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   (b) for equation 19, the average value for the period of 7 days before a major venting event

 (2) If the project proponent decides to monitor parameter WBG,CH4 continuously, the project proponent must monitor the parameter at that frequency for the remainder of the project.
Note 1: If the project proponent initially decides not to monitor the parameter continuously, the project proponent may subsequently decide to monitor the parameter continuously. However, once the project proponent decides to monitor the parameter continuously, that is how the parameter must be monitored.
Note 2: If the project proponent initially decides not to monitor the parameter continuously, the fraction mentioned in subsection 5.37(2) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination is used for the purposes of equations 17 and 19. However, if the project proponent initially or subsequently decides to monitor the parameter continuously and then, during a reporting period, fails to do so, the parameter is determined in accordance with section 46 of this determination.
 (3) Any equipment or device used to monitor a parameter must be calibrated by an accredited third party technician at intervals, and using methods, that are in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
 (4) In this section:
appropriate measuring requirements, in relation to a measurement or estimate, means requirements that are consistent with:
 (a) requirements that apply in relation to similar measurements or estimates under the NGER (Measurement) Determination; or
 (b) relevant standards and other requirements under the National Measurement Act 1960.
