              lease).
        (3)   An SAA environmental authority (mining) that is taken to be
              an environmental authority (mining lease) under subsection
              (2) is a transitional authority (SAA).
        (4)   Chapter 5 and section 316 apply to a transitional authority

616C Conditions of transitional authority (SAA)
              The conditions of a transitional authority (SAA) for an SAA

              (a)    the conditions of the authority immediately before the
                     commencement;
              (b)    each condition under the special agreement Act that, had
                     an environmental authority (mining activities) been
                     granted for the SAA mining activity on the
                     commencement, would reasonably be expected to have
                     been a condition of the environmental authority (mining
                     activities), having regard to the conditions that—
                     (i)    under section 210, may or must be included in a
                            draft environmental authority; or
                     (ii) under section 305, may be imposed on an
                          environmental authority (mining activities);
