2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: Section 6 Baseline Scenario

Comment: The methodology only identifies one baseline scenario: harvesting. The requirement is to identity alternative baseline scenarios and determine the most plausible scenario. The requirement is: Methodologies shall identify alternative baseline scenarios and determine either the most plausible baseline scenario or an aggregate baseline scenario for the project activity. Aggregate baseline scenarios shall be determined by combining likely scenarios on a probabilistic (i.e., likelihood) basis

Proposed Change: VCS Rerefence: VCS Methodology Requirements Section 3.4.4

NCX response: Only properties that are at risk of harvest are eligible to join a project. Therefore, the only reasonable baseline scenario to be considered is harvesting.
