15 Variations to project areas
(1) Any variation of the section 27 declaration of a savanna sequestration project so far as the declaration identifies the project area or areas after the start of the crediting period must be for one or more of the following only:
(a) to add an additional project area;
(b) to remove an entire project area and replace it with subdivided project areas;
(c) to remove an entire project area and not replace it.
Note: A project area cannot be increased in size. To remove part of a project area from the project, the project area must first be subdivided so that the area to be removed now constitutes the whole of a (smaller) project area.
(2) For this determination, if:
(a) a project area (the original project area) is divided into 2 or more smaller project areas; and
(b) the area made up of the areas of land covered by those smaller project areas, when taken together, is identical to the area of land covered by the original project area;
each smaller project area is a subdivided project area.
