15  Regeneration after clearing events—evidence
 (1) The project proponent must provide the Regulator with evidence of regeneration after:
 (a) the second most recent clearing event; and
 (b) the most recent clearing event;
  in each carbon estimation area.
 (2) The evidence of regeneration after the most recent clearing event must include remotely-sensed imagery.
 (3) The remotely-sensed imagery must be:
                (a) date-stamped; and
 (b) of sufficient quality to identify changes in vegetation cover.
 (4) The evidence referred to in subsection (1) must consist of:
 (a) if the project proponent has evidence of the calendar year in which regeneration began across the carbon estimation area—that evidence; or
 (b) if the project proponent:
 (i) does not have the evidence referred to in paragraph (a); and
 (ii) has evidence that, over a period that does not exceed 3 years:
 (A) there was no regeneration across the carbon estimation area at the start of the period; and
 (B) there was regeneration across the carbon estimation area at the end of the period;
  that evidence; or
 (c) if the project proponent:
 (i) does not have evidence referred to in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b); and
 (ii) has evidence that, over a period that does not exceed 3 years:
 (A) is inconclusive as to whether regeneration had begun across the carbon estimation area by the start of the period; and
 (B) demonstrates that there was regeneration across the carbon estimation area at the end of the period;
  that evidence.
