29  Nutrient management—appropriate testing for strategy

First strategy
 (1) If undertaken, appropriate testing for the first nutrient management strategy must have been undertaken no earlier than 12 months before:
 (a) the application was submitted; or
 (b) if nutrient management is undertaken as a management action in a carbon estimation area after the project declaration date—the commencement of that action.
 (2) Appropriate testing for a nutrient for the first strategy may be omitted if:
 (a) it is known that that nutrient is not deficient in the carbon estimation area in which the nutrient management will take place; and
 (b) the strategy explains why the area is known not to be deficient in that nutrient.
 (3) Appropriate testing for nitrogen for the first strategy may be omitted if it can be demonstrated by other means that the area is deficient in that nutrient.

Subsequent strategies
 (4) Subsequent strategies must be based on appropriate testing that is no more than 12 months old.
