SECTION A. Description of project activityA.1. Purpose and general description of project activity>>The Government of Belize is implementing a solid waste management project in four municipalities of the Western Corridor of Belize (San Pedro, Caye Caulker, Belize City and San Ignacio/Santa Elena). The project will support the goals of environmental protection, natural resource conservation, and protection of public health, safety and welfare. The Belize Western Corridor Solid Waste Management Project through SWaMA (Solid Waste Management Authority) is one such project. In this project solid waste from the mentioned four municipalities will be disposed in scientifically managed landfill site.

The proposed project activity is the implementation of landfill gas capture/collection and flaring system in Belize Mile 24 landfill site and Mile 3 dumpsite. In the absence of the project activity, passive venting of LFG would have happened. This would result in emission of Greenhouse Gases (methane) into the atmosphere. The project activity involves destruction of methane and thus prevention of emission of the methane from the landfill site, thus resulting in mitigation of climate change. The primary purpose of this project activity will be to extract and combust methane gas generated by the Mile 3 dumpsite and Mile 24 Landfill in order to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by the destruction of landfill methane in a flare.

This project will contribute to improving the environment and protecting the public health. In addition, it will enhance the image of Belize in the eco-tourism market and strengthen the Solid Waste Management Authority of Belize as the entity responsible for improving solid waste management in the country.

Contribution to sustainable development:

Belize Sustainable Development Indicators1

1. Enhancing and sustaining economic growth2. Improving access to quality social services3. Modernizing the State and improving governance 4. Ensuring safety and security in Belize5. Implementing measures that would be based on identifying the appropriate balance between

social and economic development, and integrity of the environment

The project activity contributes to the sustainable development and meets the Belize Sustainable Development Indicators as follows:

Enhancing and sustaining economic growth Belize’s economy depends heavily on tourism industry. This project which is addressing solid waste

management needs in Belize City, San Ignacio and San Pedro and Caye Caulker. San Pedro and Caye Caulker are two of the main tourist destinations in Belize. Thus the project will enhance the image of Belize in the eco-tourism market through better management of its municipal solid wastes.

The implementation of the project would create direct and indirect jobs. The facility will employ labour for design and construction of the site and also for operation and maintenance. This can act as a source of basic employment. Staff will be required to carry out the closure activity as well as

operate and maintain the landfill gas extraction, and flaring system. In addition, contractors and laborers will be needed for the construction and commissioning of the project.

Also, the sale of CERs earned by implementing the project will generate a substantial flow of revenue for management of the project.

Improving access to quality social services Managed waste disposal will avoid pests, odour and release of toxic gases than the waste disposed

otherwise. This will enhance the hygiene conditions thus help in reducing some preventable causes of illness, vector borne diseases and health hazards with improved life expectancy and improvements in quality of life. Proper management of solid waste from the four municipalities will result in social welfare in the Western corridor of Belize. Moreover the well managed landfill site will improve the aesthetic conditions near the site due to transformation of waste dump into scientifically managed landfill and green area. Surface cover of the landfill would prevent the occurrence of problems such as foul odour, health hazards etc. associated with uncontrolled release of landfill gas and breeding of flies and rodents. The scattering of waste by wind will also be reduced as the landfill will be closed. This will improve the public health by reducing the occurrences of respiratory related ailments etc.

The project activity will provide better Public Awareness about proper waste disposal.

Modernizing the State and improving governance The project will avoid littering of waste as waste is not dumped in open unmanaged sites avoiding

any blowing due to the wind or washing out due to rains. Hence it will improve the aesthetics of the location.

This is also the first CDM project of the host nation. Successful implementation of the project will lead to similar and other development projects wherein carbon credit revenue can be the incentive in implementing such projects for modernizing the state and improving the governance.

Ensuring safety and security in Belize Implementation of the project activity as opposed to uncontrolled dumping will reduce the risk of

toxic chemicals leaching into the water bodies used for drinking, bathing etc. The negative impacts on air quality, land and terrestrial ecosystems by unmanaged waste disposal will be prevented.

the project activity also improves safety by reducing explosion hazards from offsite methane migration and accumulation.

Implementing measures that would be based on identifying the appropriate balance between social and economic development, and integrity of the environment

• The project will result in scientific management of solid waste in a landfill site. Thus the project activity will reduce the emission of methane into air from the landfill area. By capturing and destroying Land Fill Gas through flaring the emission of methane which is a much potent GHG than CO2. is prevented. It will create environmental improvements and make a positive contribution to the global issue of climate change by reducing GHGs. The project will prevent the following risks associated with the unmanaged landfills:

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


Illegal dumping The nuisance of unpleasant odours; Air pollution Water pollution Pest infection Risk of fire; and Risk of explosion.

Along with maintaining environment integrity, the project activity will contribute to socio-economic development in Belize

Performance standards have been followed in order to maintain the balance while implementing the project activity. The performance standards for the Sanitary Landfill have been developed based on the international guidelines stipulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Environmental Compliance Plan for the Project issued by the Belize Department of the Environment. These performance standards include but are not limited to the following sub-systems: surface water management, leachate management, groundwater management, landfill gas management and environmental monitoring that will provide feedback on the effectiveness of these sub-systems.

The project activity also contributes to meeting Belize Horizon 2030 in following ways:• Better environment through prevention of pollution, mitigation of GHG and combating climate

change• Develops and implements a long-term strategy for solid waste management • Economic opportunities during project lifetime• Social impact through enhanced living conditions such as hygiene, health and safety.• Successful implementation of project leading to future replication of similar projects• Flow of foreign currency (CDM revenue) to Belize• Achieving MDGs: Environmental sustainability, Combating diseases and Global partnership for

A.3. Technologies and/or measures>>

The project activity involves the installation of an active Land Fill Gas (LFG) collection/capture and flaring system to efficiently eliminate methane emissions and monitor the amounts of methane combusted. The technology employed by the LFG collection and flaring system includes the following components: vertical and horizontal extraction wells; lateral and header piping; blower/flare station; condensate collection and treatment; monitoring system. The vertical and horizontal wells will be constructed of either polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or high density polyethylene (HDPE) and be interconnected with a lateral and header piping network. The piping network will also be connected to the LFG blower and flaring station so that the captured LFG can be delivered to the flare for methane destruction. Mechanical blower(s) will be used to apply a vacuum to the well-field and deliver the LFG from the header system to the enclosed flare. An enclosed flare will be installed to combust the collected LFG and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and other harmful compounds. The flare will be equipped with required monitoring equipment to monitor gas flows, gas composition, and flare temperatures.

A.6. Debundling for project activity>> Debundling is defined as the fragmentation of a large project activity into smaller parts. A small-scale project activity that is part of a large project activity is not eligible to use the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities. As per the requirements of “Determining the occurrence of debundling” as given in Appendix C of the Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM project activities, “A proposed small-scale project activity shall be deemed to be a debundled component of a large project activity if there is a registered small-scale CDM project activity or an application to register another small-scale CDM project activity:

- With the same project participants;- In the same project category and technology/measure; and- Registered within the previous 2 years; and- Whose project boundary is within 1 km of the project boundary of the proposed small-scale activity at the closest point.”

The project participant has not registered any project of same technology for CDM activities and has no project of same nature in nearby area (within 1 Km). In fact, this will be the first CDM project activity from the host country. Therefore, the small scale project activity is not de bundled..

SECTION B. Application of selected approved baseline and monitoring methodologyB.1. Reference of methodology>> According to Appendix B to the simplified modalities and procedures for small-scale CDM project activities, the proposed project activity falls under the following type and category.

Project Type: Type III – Other Project ActivitiesCategory: III.G – Landfill Methane Recovery application Reference: AMS-III.G., Version 8, EB 69 Tools referred:

Emissions from solid waste disposal sites, version 06.0.1 Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane, Annex 13, EB 28 Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, version 02 Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity consumption, version

01

B.2. Project activity eligibility>> The methodology AMS-III.G is applicable to this small scale CDM project activity since all the requirements set by the methodology are fulfilled here:

Applicability conditions as per methodology AMS-III.G Version 8

Project activity meets the eligibility criteria as follows

This methodology comprises measures to capture and combust methane from landfills (i.e. solid waste disposal sites) used for the disposal of residues from human activities including municipal, industrial, and other solid wastes containing biodegradable organic matter.

Applicable and Fulfilled

The project activity involves capture and combustion of landfill gas (methane) from scientifically managed Mile 3 dumpsite and Belize Mile 24 landfill which is used for disposal of municipal waste from four municipalities of Belize Western Corridor.

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


Different options to utilise the recovered landfill gas as detailed in paragraph 3 of AMS-III.H “Methane recovery in wastewater treatment” (version 16) are eligible for use under thismethodology. The relevant procedures in AMS-III.H shall be followed in this regard.

Not Applicable

The landfill gas will be collected and flared leading to destruction of methane. There are no options to utilize the recovered landfill gas. Hence the condition is not applicable.

Measures are limited to those that result in aggregate emission reductions of less than orequal to 60 kt CO2 equivalent annually from all Type III components of the project activity.

Applicable and FulfilledThe project activity applies a renewable crediting period. The emission reductions from the project in any of the year of the crediting periods are below the limit of 60 ktCO2e annually and thus the project activity fulfils these applicability criteria.

The proposed project activity does not reduce the amount of organic waste that would havebeen recycled in the absence of the project activity.

Applicable and fulfilledThe project activity involves only the collection and combustion of landfill gas from waste disposal site. There is no alteration to waste composition as a result of this project activity. The project activity fulfils the eligibility criteria

This methodology is not applicable if the management of the Solid Waste Disposal Site(SWDS) in the project activity is deliberately changed in order to increase methane generation compared to the situation prior to the implementation of the project activity (e.g. other than to meet a technical or regulatory requirement). Such changes may include, for example, the addition of liquids to a SWDS, pre-treating waste to seed it with bacteria for the purpose of increasing the rate of anaerobic degradation of the SWDS or changing the shape of the SWDS to increase methane production.

Not Applicable

No design alteration is being carried out to increase the generation of LFG. In absence of project activity the landfills were designed for passive venting of LFG.

B.3. Project boundary>>The project boundary is the physical, geographical site of the landfill where the gas is captured and destroyed/used.

Mile 3 Mile 24

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


B.4. Establishment and description of baseline scenario>> According to AMS III.G, The baseline scenario is the situation where, in the absence of the project activity, biomass and other organic matter are left to decay within the project boundary and methane is emitted to the atmosphere.

In the absence of the project activity, the landfill site at Belize would have been constructed without a gas capture and flaring system, leading to passive venting of landfill gas (methane)

The implementation of the project activity will reduce the emission of methane into air from the landfill area by capturing and destroying LFG gas through flaring. This will result in destruction of methane and thus prevent the emission of methane which is a much potent GHG than CO2.

For the establishment of the baseline scenario, following alternatives for disposal/ treatment of waste were considered.

Flaring

Project Boundary

Landfill gas collection/capture

Gas-flow meter

Gas-flow meter

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


LFG 1: The project activity (i.e. capture of landfill gas and its flaring and/or its use) undertaken without being registered as CDM project activity; however there is no regulatory requirement for flaring LFG in the host country and the option involves cost (capital and O&M) without any revenue. Thus this cannot be considered as the plausible baseline scenario

LFG 2: Atmospheric release of landfill gas without any capture and destruction: this is the business-as-usual scenario in absence of any applicable rules and regulations to flare LFG in Belize.

Thus the baseline identified is the atmospheric release of landfill gas without any capture and destruction.

B.5. Demonstration of additionality>>The additionality of the project activity has been analysed in accordance with the “ Guidelines on Demonstration of Additionality of Small-scale Project Activities” Version 9, EB68

According to the guideline, project participants shall provide an explanation to show that the project activity would not have occurred anyway due to at least one of the following barriers:

i. Investment barrierii. Technological barrier

iii. Barrier due to prevailing practiceiv. Other barriers

The project activity faces Investment barrier and Technological Barrier.

Investment barrier:

The additionality of the project activity has been analysed using Option 1 of Investment Analysis which is Simple Cost Analysis. The project activity is the capture and flaring of landfill methane from the Mile 3 dumpsite and Mile 24 landfill site. As discussed in section B.4, the alternatives to the project activity would have been passive venting of Landfill gas at Mile 3 and Mile 24 landfill without any gas capture and flaring system. This is the baseline scenario and would have been implemented with or without the project activity.

Belize has received loan from the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) to improve solid waste management practices, reduce environmental pollution and enhance the image of Belize in the eco-tourism market through better management of its municipal dump sites. The closure of Mile 3 and the construction of Mile 24 landfill (baseline scenario) is a part of the project for which the loan is being disbursed by IDB. However the loan does not cover the installation of a LFG capture and flaring system2. Since the Project got selected in the CDM loan scheme, the Solid Waste management Authority of Belize decided to incur the additional cost of installing a gas capture and flaring systems in consideration of CDM revenue for the destruction of methane. In absence of CDM, the installation of a gas capture and flaring system would have entailed cost and no revenue and is not a economically feasible option for the PP. Thus the project activity faces an investment barrier as compared to baseline as usual scenario.

http://www.iadb.org/en/projects/project,1303.html?id=BL-L1006

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


Technological Barrier: The project activity is being implemented for the first time in the host country. There is no other landfill gas and capture system in pre-existing dumpsites of Belize, as this the Mile 24 landfill is the first scientifically built landfill in the country. In absence of the project activity, there would have been no technological interventions into the landfill site and the landfill gas would have been allowed to passively vent.

Thus the project activity is additional in nature.

Demonstration of CDM consideration for the project activityAs per EB 62, version 05 (paragraph 2):

For project activities with a starting date on or after 02 August 2008, the project participant must inform a Host Party DNA and the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the project activity and of their intention to seek CDM status. Such notification must be made within six months of the project activity start date and shall contain the precise geographical location and a brief description of the proposed project activity, using the standardized form F-CDM-Prior Consideration. Such notification is not necessary if a PDD has been published for global stakeholder consultation or a new methodology proposed to the Executive Board for the specific project before the project activity start date.

The project is in planning stage. Construction of LFG collection and flaring system has not started. However a prior consideration for the project activity has been communicated by the PP to The Secretariat, CDM Executive Board, UNFCCC on 17 November 2011. A screenshot of PCF on UNFCCC website has been given below:

B.6. Emission reductionsB.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices>>

Baseline emissions

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


The baseline emissions for the project activity is :

BE y = ηPJ∗BECH 4 , SWDS, y− (1-OX )∗FCH 4 , BL, y ∗ GWPCH 4 ---------------------------------------------(1)

Where:

BECH 4 , SWDS , yMethane emission potential of a solid waste disposal site (in tCO2e), calculated using the methodological tool “Emissions from solid waste disposal sites”. This tool may be used:

With the factor “f=0.0”because the amount of LFG that would have been captured and destroyed is already accounted for in this equation;

With the definition of year x as ‘the year since the landfill started receiving wastes, x runs from the first year of landfill operation (x=1) to the year for which emissions are calculated (x=y)’.

The amount of waste type j deposited each year x (Wj,x) shall be determined by sampling (as specified in the above-mentioned tool), in the case that waste is generated during the crediting period. Alternatively, for existing SWDS, if the pre-existing amount and composition of the wastes in the landfill are unknown, they can be estimated by using parameters related to the serviced population or industrial activity, or by comparison with other landfills with similar conditions at regional or national level

OX Oxidation factor (reflecting the amount of methane from SWDS that is oxidised in the soil or other material covering the waste) (dimensionless). A default value of 0.1 may be used

ηPJEfficiency of the LFG capture system that will be installed in the project activity. It is used for ex ante estimation only. A default value of 50% may be used

FCH 4 , BL , yMethane emissions that would be captured and destroyed to comply with national or local safety requirement or legal regulations in the year y (tCH4). The relevant procedures in ACM0001 “Flaring or use of landfill gas” may be followed, as well as taking into account the compliance with the relevant local laws and regulation if such laws and regulations exist

GWPCH 4Global Warming Potential for methane (value of 21)

Since FCH 4 ,BL , y is equal to zero, hence the equation (1) becomes:

BE y = ηPJ∗BECH 4 ,SWDS, y ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1.1)

Calculation of BECH 4 ,SWDS , y

The amount of methane that would be generated in the absence of the project activity from disposal of waste at the solid waste disposal site (BECH4,SWDS,y) is calculated with a multi-phase model. The calculation is based on a first order decay (FOD) model. The model differentiates between the different types of waste j with respectively different decay rates kjand different fractions of degradable organic carbon (DOCj). The model calculates the methane generation based on the actual waste streams Wj,xdisposed in each year x, where x refers to the year since the landfill started receiving wastes [x runs from the first year of landfill operation (x=1) to the year for which emissions are calculated (x=y)].

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


In cases where at the SWDS methane is captured (e.g. due to safety regulations) and flared, combusted or used in another manner, the baseline emissions are adjusted for the fraction of methane captured at the SWDS.

The amount of methane produced in the year y (BECH4,SWDS,y) is calculated as follows *(as per equation 1 of “Emissions from solid waste disposal site”, Version 06.0.1, EB 66, Annex 46.

Project Emissions

According to the methodology, project emissions consists of:

(a) CO2 emissions from fossil fuel or electricity used by the project activity facilities (PEpower,y);

(b) Emissions from flaring or combustion of the gas stream (PEflare,y);

(c) Emissions from the landfill gas upgrading process (PEprocess,y), where applicable.

PE y=PEPower , y+PE flare , y+PE process, y--------------------------------------------------------- (2)

Where:PEy

Project emissions in year y (tCO2e)

PEpower , yEmissions from the use of fossil fuel or electricity for the operation of the installed facilities in the year y (tCO2e)

PEflare , yEmissions from flaring or combustion of the landfill gas stream in the year y (tCO2e)

PEprocess , yEmissions from the landfill gas upgrading process in the year y (tCO2e), determined by following the relevant procedures described in annex 1 of AMS-III.H

Calculation of PEpower,y

The emission factor for electricity is zero in Belize as Belize imports electricity from Mexico, which generates its power from hydropower, thus the electricity emission factor for Belize is zero3. Hence the project emissions from use of electricity during the project activity have to be neglected.

Calculation of PEflare,y

If flaring (single or multiple) is used to destroy all or part of the recovered landfill gas, project emissions from flaring in year y (PEflare,y in tCO2e) shall be determined for each flare following the procedure described in the methodological tool “Project emissions from flaring”.

According to the this tool,

PEflare,y = Project emissions from flaring of the residual gas in year y (tCO2)

GWPCH4= Global warming potential of methane valid for current commitment period (tCO2/tCH4)

FCH4,RG,m = Mass flow of methane in the residual gas in minute m (kg)

ηflare m = Flare efficiency in minute m

The mass flow of methane in the residual gas will be monitored and project emissions calculated on the basis of the same. The GWPCH4 is 21 and the default value of 90% for flare efficiency of enclosed flare will be used to calculate project emissions.

For ex-ante estimation of project emissions, considering 90% efficiency of enclosed flare, 10% of the baseline emissions have been considered as project emissions.

Calculation of PEprocess

There is no process for upgrading of landfill gas, thus PEprocess =0

Leakage

According to methodology, if the methane recovery technology is equipment transferred from another activity, leakage effects are to be considered. Since no equipment is transferred from another activity, leakage effects are nil.

Emission Reduction

Emission reduction achieved by the project activity can be estimated ex-ante in the PDD by:

ERy,estimated = BEy –PEy -LEy ------------------------------------------------------------------- (3)

Thus, the actual emission reduction achieved by the project during the crediting period will be calculated using the amount of methane recovered and destroyed/gainfully used by the project activity, calculated as:

Belize currently has no legislation mandating capture and flaring of methane from landfill gas. Although the Belize Solid Waste Management Authority Act 2000 present clauses to the proper disposal collection and treatment of waste, yet it doesnot put forward any clause for LFG capture or flaring. Thus,common practice is unabated venting of LFG in the atmosphere. The project is the first in the host country that attempts to capture and destroy LFG and hence the choice is justified.

When methane passes through the top-layer, part of it is oxidized by methanotrophic bacteria to produce CO2. The oxidation factor represents the proportion of methane that is oxidized to CO2. This should be distinguished from the methane correction factor (MCF) which is to account for the situation that ambient air might intrude into the SWDS and prevent methane from being formed in the upper layer of SWDS.

Calculation of project emissions

As per methodology, PEflare,y , will be estimated after considering 90% efficiency for enclosed flare. As such 10% of methane flared will be emitted by incomplete combustion. Thus 10% of baseline emissions for each year will be considered as project emissions for the project activity. The project emissions will be monitored.No project emissions are envisaged for ex-ante emissions.

Calculation of Leakage

No leakage emissions have been envisaged for ex-ante emissions

The fraction of methane in the gas should be measured with a continuous analyzer (values are recorded with the same frequency as the flow) or, alternatively, with periodical measurements at a 90/10 confidence/precision level. It shall be measured using equipment that can directly measure methane content in the landfill gas - the estimation of methane content of landfill gas based on measurement of other constituents of landfill gas such as CO2 is not permitted. The methane content measurement shall be carried out close to a location in the system where a landfill gas flow measurement takes place, and at the same basis (wet or dry)

thermocouple is changed for calibration or due to maintenance need the change in thermocouple will be properly documented in history card

The calibration of the thermocouple each year meets the criteria of para17 (c) of General guidelines to SSC CDM methodologies.

Purpose of data To check flare efficiencyAdditional comment Unexpected changes such as a sudden increase/drop in temperature can

occur for different reasons. An excessively high temperature at the sampling point (above 700ºC) may be an indication that the flare is not being adequately operated or that its capacity is not adequate to the actual flow. Such events should be noted in the site records along with any corrective action that was implemented to correct the issue.

Monitoring of this parameter is applicable in case of enclosed flares. Measurements are required to determine if manufacturer’s flare specifications for operating temperature are met

B.7.2. Sampling plan>> No sampling is required

B.7.3. Other elements of monitoring plan>> This Monitoring Plan identifies key performance indicators of the project and sets out the procedures for metering, monitoring, calculating and verifying the ERs generated by the project activity annually. Adherence to the instructions in the Monitoring Plan will be issued to SWaMA to measure and track the impact of the project on the environment. SWaMA will prepare all data required for the periodic audit and verification process that must be undertaken to confirm the achievement of the corresponding ERs. The MP is thus the basis for the production of ERs and accreditation of the ERs within the CDM mechanism.

If the Monitoring Plan is updated and adjusted to meet operational requirements, it will be done so with DOE approval. Any shifts in the baseline scenario may lead to such amendments, which may be mandated by the DOE. Amendments may also be necessary as a consequence of new circumstances that affect the ability to monitor ERs as described here or to accommodate new or modified CDM rules. All the results of monitoring shall be preserved by the project proponent for two years beyond the end of crediting period or the last issuance of CERs for the project activity whichever occurs later.

Organizational, Operational and Monitoring Obligations

Obligation of SWaMA-

Instruct the operator to implement the monitoring plan as defined in the PDD. Ensure that the following parameters are monitored by the operator: LFG i,y, PEflare,y, WCH4,y, T, P, Tflare, FCH4,EG,t; along with any other parameter as listed in PDD or required.

Maintain record of all monitored parameters.

Obligations of Operator

Monitoring the project’s performance in terms of ERs achievement requires the fulfillment of operational data collection and processing obligations operator, who has the primary obligation to collect data that would facilitate the calculation of the project ERs. The data shall be collected based on the most recent available information as per the Procedures presented in this PDD. In addition, roles and responsibilities of monitoring personnel would be well defined. Examples of roles and responsibilities for monitoring of data and parameters are provided with this monitoring plan; however these need to be updated on a regular basis.

It is believed that the monitoring plan approach presented here will result in an accurate, yet conservative calculation of ERs. However some uncertainties may lead to a deviation between monitored and verified ERs, especially errors in the data monitoring and processing system. Operator is expected to prevent such errors and the verification audits are expected to uncover any possible errors. The operation of the facilities will be documented in a quality control program, monitoring the conditions and procedures that ensure efficient capture of the landfill gas.

Monitoring Organization

The responsibilities of each entity involved in the setting up and monitoring of the project activity is summarized in the table below:

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


Agent ResponsibilityOperator Data reading and handling: maintaining an adequate system for

collecting, recording and storing data according to the protocols determined in the monitoring plan, checking data quality, collection and record keeping procedures regularly.

Reporting: preparing periodic reports that include emission reductions generated and observations regarding SWaMA procedures

Training: assuring personnel training regarding the performance of the project activities. Personnel will be trained in equipment operation, data recording, reports writing, and operation, calibration requirements, maintenance and emergency procedures in compliance with the Monitoring Plan.

Quality control and quality assurance: complying with quality control and quality assurance procedures to facilitate periodical audits and verification.

SWaMA SWaMA will see the development of the project and periodically carry out internal audits to assure that the project activity is in compliance with operational and monitoring requirements.

SWaMA will assist operator in instruction and training procedures during monitoring

The CDM Advisor Implement CDM processes, assist in Validation, Host country approval registration, verification and monitoring.

Data will be collected and archived electronically as well as manually to ensure accuracy and to calculate the flare emissions, and the ERs etc.

Calibration

All the measurement instruments will be subject to regular calibration as per manufacturer’s specifications or at least once in three years as required by para17 (c) of General guidelines to SSC CDM methodologies. . The regular check and calibration will be entrusted to the operators. The site Manager will be responsible for checking the equipment’s proper working order, as well as checking and storing up the calibration certificates and records. Calibration documents will be kept for all the equipments until two years after the end of the crediting period.

Data Management and Storing system

The data will be archived electronically onsite and spreadsheets will be prepared. The information archived will be aggregated hourly, monthly and yearly in a standard format for the preparation for reporting purposes.

The site manager will implement a document control system to ensure that all the necessary documents (records of monitored data, drawings, maintenance and calibration instructions etc.) are available and stored in a proper manner. A copy of the monitored data (both on CDs and papers) will be kept separately in fire proof cabins, so as to ensure safety.

All data, including calibration records and Monitoring reports will be kept until 2 years after the end of crediting period or the last issuance of the CERs for the project activity, whichever occurs later.

Audit Review

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


Internal Audits will be performed by SWaMA not involved in the daily operation of the plant, in order to assess the implementation of the monitoring plan and to prepare the monitoring report. All audit findings, including corrective actions, will be recorded and will be available onsite at the time of verification.

SECTION C. Duration and crediting periodC.1. Duration of project activityC.1.1. Start date of project activity>> Expected 1 January 2014

C.1.2. Expected operational lifetime of project activity>> Approximately 30 years

C.2. Crediting period of project activityC.2.1. Type of crediting period>> Fixed crediting period

C.2.2. Start date of crediting period>> 1 January 2016

C.2.3. Length of crediting period>> 10 years

SECTION D. Environmental impactsD.1. Analysis of environmental impacts>> LFG projects typically do not require an approved EIA because the construction and operation of an active LFG collection and utilization/flaring system constitutes a favourable environmental impact which minimizes the negative effects of LFG emissions from the landfill. No significant environmental impacts are expected to be caused by the development and implementation of the project. However the project proponent has carried out an EIA for the development of the landfill. The project activity which is the construction and operation of an active LFG collection and flaring system constitutes a favourable environmental impact because it minimizes the negative effects of LFG emissions from the landfill. No significant environmental impacts are expected to be caused by the development and implementation of the project. Social impacts of the project also are expected to be positive, and include the following:

Improving safety by reducing explosion hazards from offsite methane migration and accumulation.

Creating jobs associated with the design, construction, and operation of a system for LFG collection and utilization/combustion, as a portion of the funds for project construction and development are to be spent locally on labour needed for drilling, piping, constructing, and operating the LFG system.

Encouraging local economic development by improving the environment, health, and safety in the area and making it a more attractive place to live and do business.

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


SECTION E. Local stakeholder consultationE.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders>> A local stakeholder consultation workshop was organised by SWaMA on the 31 st of October 2012. The aim of the workshop was to create awareness among the local stakeholders about the solid waste situation in Belize and the project on solid waste management to be implemented by SWaMA. The workshop was organised to solicit their feedback, explore avenues as to how the project can be made a success and encourage their participation in making Belize a clean and eco-friendly society . The stakeholders were invited through invitation letters sent on the 17 th of October 2012 by SWaMA. The stakeholder workshop consisted of representatives from Belize Chambers of Commerce, Belize City Council, Belize Tourism Industry Association, Belize Waste Control, Coastal Zone Management, Dept. of Environment. A total of 17 people were present during the meeting.

E.2. Summary of comments received>> The stakeholders have a positive opinion about the output of the project. They understand the environmental, social and economic benefit of the project. They made comments on how various levels of society can contribute to success of solid waste management in Belize. The points put forward by the stakeholders are as follows:

1. The Church should be added to key groups to be targetted for future attention.

2. Household attitudes were very important, so there should be awareness in every household

3. In schools, the efforts should include attempting to reinforce that taught in the homes e.g. instituting small fines for littering

4. Councils should be responsible for putting more bins in place, for there were currently insufficient available.

5. Laws should be enforced, and newspapers should publish the charges/fines against people.

UNFCCC/CCNUCC


6. There should be hard line taken for business owners who were guilty of related offences e.g. reasonable compliance should be required for issuance/renewal of trade licenses.

7. There should be incentive programmes, introduced by door-to-door visitations in smaller communities (especially if/where people are well known to each other)

8. The regional leadership should be more involved /engaged in future efforts, and in publicly supporting planned actions, especially:

9. There should be focus on integrated educational efforts

10. Increase opportunities/actions for civic pride amongst garbage collectors/truck drivers.

E.3. Report on consideration of comments received>> The project proponents were commended for their action towards environment protection.

Response to 1: There should be advocating on the biblical adage “cleanliness is next to Godliness” and incorporate this message into sermons / actions Response to 2: Household will be encouraged waste separation during disposal, secure waste properly and dispose in dustbins onlyResponse to 3: Schools will be sensitized for incorporation of SWM in their curricula.
