7  Equilibrium fuel loads
 (1) The following amounts:
 (a)  for subsection 6(1) of this Schedule;
 (b)  for subsection 6(1) of this Schedule;
 (c) the 10‑year project equilibrium fuel load for a particular calendar year for subparagraph 36(3)(d)(ii) of this determination;
  are given by the amount  calculated in accordance with the following equation:

  equation 16

  where:
f is a fuel size class, and takes on the values of coarse fuel and heavy fuel.
v is a vegetation fuel type on the vegetation fuel type map for the project area.
 is:
 (a) when calculating —the baseline equilibrium amounts of biomass in the dead organic matter, , for the project area calculated in accordance with equation 17 over the relevant calculation period given by paragraph (a) of the definition of that term in section 5, in tonnes of biomass per hectare; and
 (b) when calculating —the project equilibrium amount of biomass in the dead organic matter, , for the project area calculated in accordance with equation 17 over the relevant calculation period given by paragraph (b) of the definition of that term in section 5, in tonnes of biomass per hectare; and
 (c) when calculating the 10‑year project equilibrium fuel load—the 10-year project equilibrium amounts of biomass in the dead organic matter, , for the project area calculated in accordance with equation 17 over the relevant calculation period given by paragraph (c) of the definition of that term in section 5, in tonnes of biomass per hectare.
SV,v is the total area covered by vegetation of vegetation fuel type v in the project area, ascertained from the vegetation fuel type map for the project area, in hectares.
CCf,v is the carbon content for fuel of fuel size class f of vegetation fuel type v, in tonnes of carbon per tonne of biomass—from the National Inventory Report.
Note: The factor 44/12 is measured in tonnes CO2‑e per tonne of carbon, and converts the amount in tonnes of carbon into an amount in tonnes of CO2‑e.
 (2) For the definition of  in subsection (1), the equation is the following:

  equation 17

  where:
Lf,v is the annual rate of accumulation of fuel of fuel size class f that is of vegetation fuel type v, as given by the National Inventory Report, in tonnes of biomass per hectare per year.
Df,v is the proportion of vegetation of fuel of fuel size class f that is of vegetation fuel type v that decomposes each year in a given area, as given by the National Inventory Report, in years–1.
 is the mean proportion of fuel of fuel size class f that is of vegetation fuel type v that remains after a fire for the project area and for the
