27  Historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste

Quantity for new projects and transitioning projects
 (1) For a new project or a transitioning project, the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for a reporting period is zero.

Quantity for expansion projects
 (2) For an expansion project, the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for a reporting period is worked out by adjusting the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the relevant 24‑month period on a pro rata basis by reference to the length of the reporting period.
Note: This means that if, for example, the length of the reporting period is 6 months, the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the reporting period is worked out by multiplying the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the relevant 24‑month period by 6/24.
 (3) The historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the relevant 24‑month period, in tonnes, is worked out using the formula (equation 8):
where:
HW means the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the relevant 24‑month period, in tonnes.
HQEW means the quantity of eligible waste received by the project's AWT facility in the relevant 24‑month period, in tonnes, worked using appropriate evidence.
HQRW means the quantity of residual waste disposed of by the project's AWT facility during the relevant 24‑month period, in tonnes, worked using appropriate evidence.
HQNBP means the quantity of non‑biobased products manufactured by the project's AWT facility during the relevant 24‑month period, in tonnes, worked using appropriate evidence.
Note: To be an eligible offsets project, the application made under section 22 of the Act in relation to an expansion project must be accompanied by appropriate evidence that is sufficient to calculate the historic quantity of putrescible eligible waste for the relevant 24‑month period using equation 8 (see subsection 12(2)).
 (4) In this section:
appropriate evidence means:
 (a) weighbridge evidence from an accepted industry weighbridge that meets appropriate measuring requirements; or
 (b) waste transport contracts and invoices that provide evidence of relevant quantities of transported waste.
relevant 24‑month period, for a project, means the 24‑month period ending on the day before an application under section 22 of the Act is made in relation to the project.
