9.1 Appendix 1: Guidance on Sustainability Assessment<br />
The following descriptions on key issues in <strong>Program</strong> Evaluation taken from [5] are helpful for<br />
program evaluators to determine which issues will be needed for the evaluation of a particular<br />
program.<br />
Issues Description Possible parameters<br />
Environment<br />
Air quality Air quality refers to changes compared to the<br />
baseline in:<br />
Pollution of indoor <strong>and</strong> outdoor air which may<br />
have a negative impact on human health or<br />
the environment, including particulates, NOx,<br />
SOx, lead, carbon monoxide, ozone, POPs,<br />
mercury, CFCs, Halons. Also odour is<br />
considered to be a form of air pollution.<br />
Water quality<br />
<strong>and</strong> quantity<br />
Pollution with gases covered under the Kyoto<br />
Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane<br />
(CH4),<br />
Nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons<br />
(HFCs), perfluorinated carbons (PFCs) <strong>and</strong><br />
sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).) Are not included in<br />
this category as this category refers to changes<br />
in the environment in addition to reductions of<br />
greenhouse gases since GHG reductions are<br />
included in all greenhouse gas reduction<br />
projects by definition.<br />
Water quality <strong>and</strong> quantity refer to t changes<br />
compared to the baseline in:<br />
Release of pollutants <strong>and</strong> changes in water<br />
balance <strong>and</strong> availability in ground‐ <strong>and</strong> surface<br />
water <strong>and</strong> its impacts on the environment <strong>and</strong><br />
human health, including biological oxygen<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> chemical oxygen dem<strong>and</strong>,<br />
thermal pollution, mercury, SOx, NOx, POPs,<br />
lead, coliforms (bacteria from animal waste)<br />
Soil condition Soil condition refers to changes compared to<br />
the<br />
baseline in:<br />
Pollution of soils, pollution of soils can be<br />
