that are part of the project; and
 (b) sampling is undertaken at a baseline nominated soil depth greater than the depth of any soil:
 (i) sourced for the land management activities; and
 (ii) added to the soil profile; and
 (iii) incorporated through the soil profile; and
 (c) the land where any soil is sourced is remediated as soon as is practical.
Note: Remediation could involve returning sandy topsoil to a clay pit immediately after the clay is extracted.
 (5) After completion of the baseline sampling round, soil amendments containing biochar may be added to soil within a CEA only if:
 (a) the biochar was sourced or created from:
 (i) CEAs that are part of the project; or
 (ii) both of the following are satisfied:
 (A) organic matter that previously formed part of a designated waste-stream;
 (B) the application of the biochar to the CEA is in accordance with the laws and regulations of the relevant State, Territory or local government;
 (b) otherwise—the soil amendments are applied:
 (i)  if the carbon content of the soil amendments is known—at a rate lower than 100kg of carbon per hectare per calendar year;
 (ii)  otherwise—at a rate lower than the default carbon content specified in the Supplement, per hectare per calendar year.
 (6) After completion of the baseline sampling round, soil amendments containing coal may be added to soil within a CEA only if they are applied:
 (a)  if the carbon content of the soil amendments is known—at a rate lower than 100kg of carbon per hectare per calendar year; or
 (b)  otherwise—at a rate lower than the default carbon content specified in the Supplement, per hectare per calendar year.
 (7) After completion of the baseline sampling round, restricted non-synthetic fertiliser may be added to soil within a CEA only if it is applied:
 (a)  if the carbon content of the restricted non-synthetic fertiliser is known—at a rate lower than 100kg of carbon per hectare per calendar year;
 (b)  otherwise—at a rate lower than the default carbon content specified in the Supplement, per hectare per calendar year.
Note:  If a product is a combination of non-synthetic fertiliser and restricted non-synthetic fertiliser, the requirements of subsection (7) apply to the restricted non-synthetic fertiliser.
 (8) After completion of the baseline sampling round, irrigation may be applied to CEAs within a project area only if both of the following apply:
 (a) disregarding new irrigation, the annual level of irrigation for the project area, or the CEAs within the project area, is not more than 20% greater than the highest annual level of irrigation in the baseline period;
 (b) disregarding new irrigation, the 5-yearly total level of irrigation for the project area, or the CEAs within the project
