applicable local, state and federal laws;
2. the operation will not adversely affect the stability
of any significant, valuable, and permanent man-

structure is to be compensated for by the operator;

use of such lands; and that, in the event of the failure of
its proposed reclamation plan, it will take whatever measures
may be necessary to assdre the success of reclamation of the
lands affected by such operations.
