9 Management actions
(1) For each year in the crediting period in which there is a cotton area, at least one new management action must be undertaken either before or during the year which aims to increase the nitrogen fertiliser use efficiency of the cotton area in respect of that year.
Note: See definition of new management action. For example, a project would meet this requirement if:
(a) in the emissions intensity reference period, synthetic fertiliser was spread on the surface of the soil in the cotton area; and
(b) in each year in the crediting period, synthetic fertiliser was placed at depth in the soil in the cotton area.
(2) For each project area, a project proponent must provide the Regulator, at the time of application under section 22 of the Act and at the time of any application to vary the project to add further project areas, with the following: (a) a description of the historical management actions undertaken during the emissions intensity reference period; (b) a description of each proposed new management action to be undertaken during the crediting period; (c) an explanation of how the proposed new management actions are consistent with the requirements in section 10.
