                       can, in carrying out the relevant mining activities for the
                       converted authority, comply with—
                       (i)   the relevant standard environmental conditions for

603B Automatic conversion for particular applications
           (1)   This section applies on the making of a conversion application
                 if it complies with section 603A.

                 level 2 mining project and no additional conditions are
                 requested in the application, the relevant transitional authority

                       conditions.
