2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Section 5 Project Boundary

Comment: Although the methodology is for ERA, no applicability conditions exist to prevent the application of the methodology to RIL and LtPF. Therefore, the project boundaries should include the dead wood pool. The requirement is: RIL and LtPF methodologies shall include the dead wood carbon pool in the project and baseline scenario. Both of these activities reduce the amount of timber extracted per unit area, which, in turn, may reduce the dead wood pool in the project scenario

Proposed Change: VCS Rerefence: VCS Methodology Requirements Section 3.3.17

NCX response: The only activity eligible to receive credits under this methodology is extension of rotation age. The revised version of the methodology will be explicit about which activity types are eligible and which are not.
