Tracking Overlap in Adopted Acres Sample Clauses

Tracking Overlap in Adopted Acres. Adopted acres are the primary measure of net benefit in the Agreement. We expect some degree of overlap between Partners that maintain rights-of-way overlapping the same land. In such cases, both Partners may be conducting conservation measures, and thereby contributing to their adopted acres target. However, this “double-counting” of adopted acres at a program-level has potential to result in less net benefit than anticipated by adoption rates. To address this concern, the Program Administrator, in working closely with individual Partners, will ensure that overlap in reported adopted acres is accounted for in annual reporting. The Program Administrator will facilitate the accounting of the program’s adopted acres as part of annual reporting. In doing so, the Program Administrator will expect Partners to identify (within their tracking or annual reporting) the other Partner(s) with whom they maintain overlapping adopted acres with. To assist the Program Administrator in accounting, the Partners will either: • Coordinate directly with their overlapping Partner(s) to determine allocation of those specific adopted acres between Partners, or • Quantify the amount of overlapping adopted acres reported by Partner(s) tracked in that year’s reporting. Using this information, the Program Administrator will then quantify the program’s collective adopted acres delivered and compare that against the collective adopted acres target for the year to demonstrate that net benefit has been achieved in annual reporting.
