Upon submittal of the air emissions permits, Stipulation No. 15 was complied with. Stipulation No. 16 was attached to TR-30 and required a geotechnical report showing that the factor of safety for gob pile no. 2 was 1.5 or greater.

Stipulation No. 17 was attached to Technical Revision No. 30 and required the submittal of the NPDES permit, air emissions permits, the Section 7 consultation with the USDA-Forest Service and an agreement from the Deer Trail Ditch Company before coal waste disposal site no. 2 could be constructed or before there was any discharge from Pond F. Upon submittal of the documentation, Stipulation No. 17 was complied with. Technical Revision No. 31 was approved with Stipulation No. 18 attached. This stipulation required the submittal of a rockfall report and the construction of a rockfall berm above the facilities area before the mine plan change in the west district could be implemented. Stipulation No. 18 was complied with. Stipulation No. 19 was attached to Technical Revision No. 34 and required the submittal of the necessary air emissions permits before the B-2 coal seam portal bench upland conveyor could be used. The air emissions permits were submitted so Stipulation No. 19 was terminated.

Stipulation No. 20 was terminated. Also attached to Succession of Operator No. 2 was Stipulation No. 21.

Stipulation No. 24 was attached to Technical Revision No. 45 and requires the submittal of permits from CDOT and the Bureau of Reclamation before the elevated conveyor to gob pile no. 3 can be constructed.
