427 Issue of site closing certificate
If—
(a) an applicant has been given a pre‑certificate notice under section 420(1); and
(b) if section 426(1) applies—the applicant has lodged the specified security within the period applicable under section 426(3)—
the Minister must issue to the applicant a site closing certificate in relation to the identified greenhouse gas storage formation specified in the pre‑certificate notice.
If the applicant does not lodge the security with the Minister within the period applicable under section 426(3), the application lapses at the end of that period—see section 426(4).
