A brief description of the carbon sinks, including vendor, project source, verification program and contract timeframes (as applicable):
The 98 metric tons of CO2e were purchased from The Bonneville Environmental Foundation. The project associated with this purchase is the B6 Dairy Farm BioFactory Project. The B6 Dairy Farm BioFactory Project consists of the installation of anaerobic digester and generator at the B6 (Bettencourt 6) dairy farm in Idaho. The digester captures methane-rich biogas emanating from the anaerobic decay of the dairy manure that would have otherwise been emitted into the atmosphere. The project also produces renewable electricity from the biogas produced in the digester. The carbon credits from this project are derived from the capture of methane.
On-site composting includes local processing of pre- and post-consumer food waste from campus as well as landscape debris ad some animal bedding. Not all on-site composting is accounted for in our emissions calculations yet. This will change as data tracking and acquisition improve.

| Adjusted net GHG emissions | Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
| Performance year | Baseline year | |
| Start date | July 1, 2019 | July 1, 2007 |
| End date | June 30, 2020 | June 30, 2008 |
A brief description of when and why the GHG emissions baseline was adopted:
FY08 data were used for this STARS credit because it is the first fiscal year for which we have complete data at the level of granularity requested in the fields above.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Difference in emissions between Performance Year and Baseline Year are attributed to many factors including: availability of data, refinement in data tracking and acquisition and rapid increases in campus population and square footage.
