608 Environmental management plan may be required
This section applies if a transitional authority is—
an environmental authority (exploration); or
an environmental authority (mineral development); or
an environmental authority (mining lease).
During the transitional period, the administering authority may require the holder of the transitional authority to submit an environmental management plan to it.
However, the requirement may be given to the holder only by a written notice—
stating the following—
the holder’s name;
the transitional authority;
the requirement;
a reasonable period of at least 28 days for the requirement to be complied with; and
that is accompanied by, or includes, an information notice about the decision to make the requirement.
An environmental management plan submitted under this section is taken to be the submitted EM plan for the transitional authority.
