14  Clearing history—evidence
 (1) The project proponent must provide the Regulator with evidence of the 2 most recent clearing events in each carbon estimation area.
Note For example, if a carbon estimation area was cleared in 1960, 1974, 1982, 1991 and 2005, the 2 most recent clearing events are the clearing events in 1991 and 2005.
 (2) The evidence must consist of:
 (a) if the project proponent has evidence of the calendar year in which a clearing event occurred—that evidence; or
 (b) otherwise—evidence that a clearing event occurred at some point over a period of not more than 3 years.
 (3) The evidence may include the following:
 (a) remotely-sensed imagery;
 (b) clearing permits;
 (c) farm management records;
 (d) tax invoices;
 (e) published vegetation mapping;
 (f) derived vegetation cover data.
Note The Regulator may ask for additional evidence if the evidence that is supplied is not sufficient to establish the 2 most recent clearing events.
 (4) The Regulator may disregard any remotely-sensed imagery that is:
 (a) not date-stamped; or
 (b) of insufficient quality to identify changes in vegetation cover.
