project area is removed from the project;
 (d) one or more whole CEAs are removed in circumstances where:
 (i) either:
 (A) the sum of the most recent values for  from equation 69 of Schedule 1 or, as applicable pursuant to section 15, from equation 116 of Schedule 2 for each CEA removed from the project is positive; or
 (B) the removal is not for a purpose of increasing the credits issued under the Act in relation to the project area; and
 (ii) if land management activities in a CEA to be removed from a project have moved carbon from that CEA to one or more other CEAs that are part of the project—all the CEAs that had received that carbon are also removed from the project;
 (e) one or more whole CEAs or project areas are removed from the project after the end of the crediting period for the project.
Note: Any variation of a project area will also need to meet the requirements of the legislative rules and this will involve the relinquishment of any Australian carbon credit units issued in relation to any CEAs removed from the scheme. The removal of part of a project area that is a CEA or emissions accounting area will involve the recalculation of the baseline for the project area.
 (5) If a previous soil carbon method was previously the applicable methodology determination in relation to a project area, an area of land is also eligible land if:
 (a) it could be included in a carbon estimation area under that determination; and
 (b) was mapped as part of a carbon estimation area at the commencement of this determination.
 (6) In this section, previous soil carbon method means:
 (a) the 2014 methodology determination;
 (b) the 2015 methodology determination;
 (c) the 2018 methodology determination.
