26 The current management regime and the default management regime
(1) For a permanent planting CEA, this section applies as if a reference to a rotation were a reference to the period beginning on the earlier of the forest start date and the eligibility date for the CEA and ending at the end of the permanence period for the project.
(2) At a time during a rotation for a CEA, the current management regime is the management regime consisting of:
(a) the choice of species and the set of management actions already applied and disturbance events that have already occurred during the rotation; and
(b) the set of management actions and their times, and the rotation period, that the project proponent proposes to apply in the remainder of the rotation.
(3) At a time during a rotation for a CEA the default management regime is:
(a) unless paragraph (b) applies—the same as the current management regime; and
(b) if the CEA has been subject to a disturbance event during the rotation—the same as the current management regime as it stood immediately before the first disturbance event of the rotation.
(4) At a time between rotations for a CEA the current management regime and the default management regime are both the same as the default management regime as it stood at the end of the previous rotation.
