### sec.589 Conditions of environmental authority
The conditions of an environmental authority (mining activities) under section 588 are—
each condition of a relevant mining tenement that would reasonably be expected to be a condition of the authority; and
any financial assurance condition imposed on the authority under section 598; and
another condition prescribed under a regulation.
If, under subsection (1)(a), a condition of a relevant mining tenement becomes a condition of the authority, it ceases to have effect as a condition of the tenement.
Subsection (2) applies despite the Mineral Resources Act.
