18  Re-stratification following disturbance event
 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) a disturbance event has affected part or the whole of a CEA; and
 (b) as a consequence, the project proponent proposes to take different management actions in different parts of the CEA.
Example: A fire affects a portion of the area of land covered by a CEA, and the project proponent proposes to undertake the management action salvage harvesting in the portion of the CEA that was affected by the fire. As the management action would be taken in part only of the CEA, this section applies. In compliance with this section, the proponent might choose to re‑stratify the original CEA into 2 CEAs; salvage harvesting would be undertaken across one of those re‑stratified CEAs, but not in the other.
Note that a re-stratification under this section must keep all the land in the CEA in one of the new CEAs. An area of land can be removed from being part of any CEA only under section 20.
 (2) The project proponent must re‑stratify the CEA so that each new CEA meets the requirements of section 14.
Note: Because of subsections 14(8), (10) and (11), each such CEA must be one that has been, and is expected to continue to be, subject to a single management regime. If an area with a single management regime has an area less than 0.2 hectares, it cannot be part of a CEA.
 (3) The new CEAs are taken to have been created immediately before the disturbance event began.
