If any condition hereof be challenged by the applicant and held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason, unless otherwise determined by the Board upon Mid-Continent' s application the whole permit shall lapse and be thereby terminated pending remand to the Board for the formation of proper or lawful conditions in accordance with the ruling of the court and reis- suance, if any, of the permit. It is recognized that Mid-Continent will be allowed to continue its opera- tions during the period between any finding of invalid- ity and rei ssuance of a new permit. The Board shall act upon such remand within the circumstances because of the necessity to asscmble scientific data and the like, in which event it shall be as soon as reasonably possible. 26) Termination of Federal and State Regulations - It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the issuance of this amenaed permit is premised upon the increasing role of the M. L.R. in the area of environ- mental control of mining operations. In the event that any existing state or federal regulation is amended or repealed in substantial manner, such as to reduce or eliminate control of environmental quality, or the application of the same to the operations of Mid- Continent, the Board reserves the right to amend this permit such as to maintain the level of environmental quality herein provided for. 27) Superceding All Permits - This permit and its provi- sions shall supercede any and all permits earlier issued by Pitkin County applicable to the operations of Mid-Continent.
