Appendix 3. Stage 1 of data reconciliation: Alignment of field verification data and APP Operational data field and Head office
Following the field verification on the 23
rd
to the 27
th
of July 2013, it was concluded that an area of 431.1 Ha had been developed within 23 compartments of the
“
No Go
”
areas. A field verification and APP operation data reconciliation Stage 1 was required to
verify how much of the 431.1 Ha area should have been classified as HCS andor potential HCV including peatland areas.
With respect to HCV
–
These 23 compartments representing 431.1 Ha were crosschecked in relation to potential HCV areas identified during the pre-assessments
HCSHCVpeatland in February 2013. There was no overlap. Therefore, none of the 23 compartments above were assessed to contain HCV and all further verification could
focus on identifying potential HCS. With respect to HCS, the verification analysis output detailed below revealed that of the
431.1 Ha, an initial maximum of 72 Ha could be estimated as HCS. This estimate would be further checked through a stage 2 data reconciliation Comparative Spatial Analysis
with additional reference to Full HCS Assessment Plots.
26
Result of the data reconciliation between the FVT and APP team note: the compartments earmarked red are those containing potential HCS.

Appendix4.Stage 2 data reconciliation Comparative Spatial Analysis with additional reference to Full HCS Assessment Plots
Following Stage 1 whereby field verification data and APP Operational data field and head office were reconciled, a second stage comparative spatial analysis was implemented to both
double check the output of the first stage and to strengthen the overall result through the inclusion of plot data generated in the full HCS assessment implemented in JuneJuly 2013.
The Comparative Spatial Analysis is based on a land cover analysis using updated SPOT 5 images and a supervised classification of strata and HCS measurement plots over the 23
compartments.HCS measurement plots from the preliminary HCS assessment were used as
training samples for the exercise.
The following flow diagram illustrates the steps taken during the spatial analysis

Based on the Supervised Classification, the total area containing HCS was estimated to be 88.38Ha Table 7. Through further portioning between the verification and consolidation data
and spatial data analysis Table 8 it can be concluded that the final HCS area cleared after the 1
