14  CEA boundaries
        (1)  This section sets out requirements for the boundaries of CEAs.
        (2)  In addition to the requirements in subsections (3), (4) and (5), the boundaries of each CEA must be defined in accordance with the CFI Mapping Guidelines.
         (3) If the plantings in a CEA are established in accordance with a narrow or wide linear planting geometry:
           1.     the boundary parallel to the long axis of the planting must be one metre beyond the outer row of stems; and
           2.     the boundary parallel to the short axis of the planting must be one metre beyond the outer stems of the plants at the end of the rows; and
           3.     the boundary circumscribing an exclusion area within a CEA must be one metre beyond the outer stems bordering the exclusion area.
          (4) If the plants in a CEA are established in any planting geometry that is not consistent with a narrow or wide linear planting geometry:
           1.     the outer boundary of the CEA is immediately outside the stems of the outermost plants; and
           2.     the boundary surrounding any exclusion area within a CEA is immediately outside the stems of the plants bordering the exclusion area.
         (5) If the plantings in a CEA are established:
           1.     in any planting geometry that is not consistent with a narrow or wide linear planting; and
           2.     the boundary of the CEA was defined in accordance with another CFI methodology determination for which an offsets report has been submitted and accepted by the Regulator;

        then, subject to still meeting the requirements of sections 13 and 18, the existing CEA boundary may be used.
          (6) The boundaries of each CEA must be defined in each offsets report submitted to the Regulator in which the CEA is described as a CEA.
