20  Re‑stratification to remove area that is no longer suitable for plantation growth
 (1) This section applies to a CEA other than an ex-plantation CEA if there is evidence that demonstrates that the growth of trees in the CEA, or in part of that CEA, has been, and is likely to remain, insufficient for the area to be a commercially viable part of the project's plantations.
 (2) The project proponent may re‑stratify the area of land covered by the CEA so that the land to which subsection (1) applies is no longer part of any CEA.
 (3) The re-stratification must occur, or be taken to have occurred:
 (a) at the beginning of a reporting period; or
 (b) between rotations; or
 (c) immediately before a disturbance event.
Note: Any carbon stored in the area removed from the CEA will no longer contribute to the project. This may impact upon abatement and crediting outcomes, depending on the area removed.
