As far as I know, moving more than three cubic meters of soil requires a permit in Germany. Once you go too deep you also require a permit from the local mining authority. Not to mention the Balrogs you might wake.

Do the Balrogs issue permits to wake them? How do you prove you submitted the permit - and got approval - before you wake them? Sounds like you're playing with fire.

You do not directly get a permit from the Balrogs. Contact your local evil Maia authority.

It's best to make sure you have a servant of the Secret Fire with you at all times.
