(2) The amount of a species conservation charge referred to in clause (1) (a) is the amount determined in accordance with the formula, (((2.67 × HC1 × B) + HC2) × AC) + (2.67 × LC × B) + LCF in which, “AC”  is 1.1, being a multiplier that represents typical administrative costs, “B”  is 1.5, being a multiplier that represents the benefit multiplier, “HC1” is $8,500, being an amount, to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical per hectare cost of establishing, maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species, “HC2” is $8,500, being an amount to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical fixed costs of maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species that are incurred in addition to the costs referred to in the definition of “HC1”, “LC”  is the applicable variable land cost set out in Column 3 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost per hectare to acquire and own land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed, and “LCF” is the applicable fixed land cost set out in Column 4 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost to acquire land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed. (3) The amount of a species conservation charge referred to in clause (1) (b) is the amount determined in accordance with the formula, (((A × HC1 × B) + HC2) × AC) + (A × LC × B) + LCF in which, “A”  is the area, in hectares, of the habitat to be damaged or destroyed, “AC”  is 1.1, being a multiplier that represents typical administrative costs, “B”  is 1.5, being a multiplier that represents the benefit multiplier, “HC1” is $8,500, being an amount, to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical per hectare costs of establishing, maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species, “HC2” is $8,500, being an amount, to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical fixed costs of maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species that are incurred in addition to the costs referred to in the definition of “HC1”, “LC”  is the applicable variable land cost set out in Column 3 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost per hectare to acquire and own land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed, and “LCF” is the applicable fixed land cost set out in Column 4 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost to acquire land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed. (4) The amount of a species conservation charge referred to in clause (1) (c) is the amount determined in accordance with the formula, (((A × HC1 × B) + HC2) × AC) + (A × LC × B) + LCF in which, “A”  is the area, in hectares, of the habitat to be damaged or destroyed, “AC”  is 1.1, being a multiplier that represents typical administrative costs, “B”  is 1.5, being a multiplier that represents the benefit multiplier, “HC1” is $10,000, being an amount, to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical per hectare costs of establishing, maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species, “HC2” is $8,500, being an amount, to be adjusted for inflation, which represents the typical fixed costs of maintaining and monitoring habitat for the species, that are incurred in addition to the costs referred to in the definition of “HC1”, “LC”  is the applicable variable land cost set out in Column 3 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost per hectare to acquire and own land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed, and “LCF” is the applicable fixed land cost set out in Column 4 of Table 1 to this Regulation, which represents the typical cost to acquire land for habitat for the species in the municipality or territorial district in which the species’ habitat is to be damaged or destroyed. (5) A charge determined under subsection (2), (3) or (4) is the same regardless of whether the charge is in relation to both or only one of the species referred to in subsection (1).
