My guess is either party, or both, will request a rescheduling of the mediation until the new cabinet and administration is in place. It wouldn't really make sense for either party to engage in negotiations when it's clear the EPA is in flux, probably soon to be weaker frankly, and they both know it IMHO.

There is a small legitimate argument however that the EPA may make a Hail Mary last ditch attempt on behalf of the Obama administration to take a stand, something like the standing rock thing. But given the lack of Indian reservations nearby and the fact that this is state land earmarked for mining, that seems unlikely.

Otherwise, Total capitulation is probably the most likely outcome if they wait until spring.

And this will be $4 the instant that news leaks BTW.

JMHO
