106. The report on the state of forest stands referred to in the second paragraph of sections 104 and 105 must include the following information and documents in particular:

(1)  the date of the report;

(2)  the project code;

(3)  the information needed to identify the promoter, as entered in the general account opened by the Minister for the transferee under section 14 of the Regulation respecting a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emission allowances (chapter Q-2, r. 46.1) following the transferee’s registration for the cap-and-trade system for emission allowances, and the name of the person responsible for the project;

(4)  the period during which the verification was conducted and the date of the visit of the lot or part of a lot for the project;

(5)  the name and function of the persons involved in assessing the state of the forest stands;

(6)  a description of the activities carried out by a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs forestiers du Québec to assess the state of the forest stands;

(7)  an image interpreted from an analogical aerial photograph at the scale of 1: 15 000 or better, an image from a digital aerial photograph with a spatial resolution of 30 cm or better, or a satellite image with a spatial resolution of 50 cm or better, taken at a date as close as possible to the date of the notice provided for in section 103 or 104, showing the lot for the project;

(8)  the results of the interpretation of the analogical aerial photograph, digital aerial photograph or satellite image. The interpretation must, in particular, focus on the following elements:

(a)  stand density;

(b)  tree height;

(c)  the presence or absence of natural or anthropogenic disturbances. When a disturbance is noted, the promoter must specify the year, the cause of the disturbance, the area affected by the disturbance, and the impact of the disturbance on the project outcome;

(d)  a conclusion as to whether the forest capital on the lot or part of a lot for the project, when the comparative analysis is performed, is sufficient to support the project outcome declared at the last issuance request for offset credits and to ensure that the credits issued are able to cancel the effect, quantified over 100 years, of the presence in the atmosphere of one metric tonne of CO2 emissions;

(e)  the date and the signature of the member of the Ordre des ingénieurs forestiers du Québec who drew up the report.
