34 Determining intended location coordinates of TSPs and PSPs

(1) To determine the intended plot locations of TSPs within a stratum, the project proponent must select either:

(a) all the potential plot locations in the stratum determined under section 32, using the map referred to in subsection 23(4); or

(b) a subset selected from amongst them.

(2) The number of TSPs in the stratum must not be less than the ex ante estimate of the minimum number of TSPs from Subdivision 4.

(3) To determine the intended plot locations of any PSPs in the stratum, the project proponent must select plot locations as a subset of either:

(a) the TSP locations already selected (so that these plots will be both PSPs and TSPs); or

(b) another set of potential plot locations determined in accordance with section 32.

(4) The number of PSPs in the stratum must not be less than the ex ante estimate of the minimum number of PSPs from Subdivision 4.

(5) The intended location coordinates must be:

(a) recorded in the sampling plan; and

(b) uploaded into a global positioning system.
