648 New environmental authority for Zerogen’s converted GHG permits
This section applies to the environmental authorities (petroleum activities) in force immediately before assent held by Zerogen (the old authorities) relating to its authorities to prospect under the P&G Act, numbered 830 and 835.
Note—On the date of assent of the GHG storage Act the authorities to prospect became GHG permits under that Act. See the GHG storage Act, section 431.
On assent, the old authorities—
cease to be environmental authorities for petroleum activities; and
are taken to be environmental authorities (chapter 5A activities) for greenhouse gas storage activities (the converted authorities).
The converted authorities are non-code compliant, for a level 2 chapter 5A activity.
The conditions of the converted authorities are all of the conditions of the old authorities that are relevant to the carrying out of greenhouse gas storage activities under the authority to prospect to which the converted authority relates.
Chapter 5A applies to the converted authorities.
