Sec. 18. (a) Each permit issued by the director is subject to conditions imposed by the director. The conditions must include at a minimum a requirement for the operator to pay to the federal Office of Surface Mining all fees owed under 30 C.F.R. part 870.

     (b) The director may issue a permit subject to the condition that the permittee obtain or maintain in force other licenses or permits required for the surface coal mining and reclamation operation. However, the imposition of a condition under this subsection does not authorize or require the director to administer or enforce the requirements of any federal law or of any state law other than this article.
