(1) The project proponent must, in all areas of land included in a CEA, carry out or maintain at least one eligible management activity until the end of the permanence obligation period for the project.
Note: The kind of eligible management activity may change for an area of land over time, so long as during each reporting period at least one eligible management activity is conducted or maintained.
(2) The first eligible management activity on each area of land included in a CEA must begin:

(b) before either the first subsequent sampling round (as per the definition in Schedule 1), or the first subsequent estimation event (as per the definition in Schedule 2) for the CEA; and
(c) before the end of the first reporting period after the CEA was included in the project area for the project.
(3) If a CEA includes land that is a permanent pasture, or has been used as pasture for a period of at least 2 years, the pasture must be grazed by production livestock at least once every 2 years, unless the land is de-stocked in compliance with subsection 11(2).
