The grant would have no rent or other charges and would be subject to valid existing rights. Interior could add reasonable terms to protect Conservation Area resources. Construction would not be allowed to permanently harm surface resources or cross designated wilderness. The Authority would be allowed to excavate and use or dispose of tunneling materials without payment, and Interior and the Authority would sign an MOU within 30 days after the grant to identify federal disposal sites.

Existing utility corridors and approved transmission lines would keep the right to operate, maintain, repair, and replace.
