not expected to be large. <br />The Division has determined that probable hydrologic effects on surface water <br />identified above will not preclude use of the water below the point of discharge <br />from the mine. This conclusion is based on the small and infrequent flows <br />relative to the large amount of dilution available in receiving waters. The <br />quality of surface water is limited on site and the treatment systems should act <br />to mitigate any adverse effects on surface water. <br />Protection of Hydrologic Balance <br />Pursuant to Rule 2.07.6(2)(c), the Division has assessed the probable <br />hydrologic impacts to ground water and surface water at the King I and II <br />Mines. The Division finds that the mine operations have been designed to <br />prevent material damage to the hydrologic balance outside the permit area. <br />Discussion on the probably hydrologic consequences may be found in King I <br />Appendix 4(6). <br />IV. Topsoil <br />No surface disturbances are anticipated for this permit revision, so no topsoil <br />salvage, storage, or replacement will occur. <br />V. Sealing of Drilled Holes and Underground Openings <br />No drill holes or underground openings are proposed with this revision. <br />VI. Use of Explosives <br />GCC does not store or use explosives; therefore, the requirements of this section are <br />not applicable. <br />VII. Disposal of Excess Spoil <br />Underground workings will be accessed from adjacent workings, so no spoil will <br />be generated. The requirements of this section are not applicable (4.09). <br />VIIL Coal Mine Waste Banks <br />The King I Mine has previously been approved to construct a coal mine waste bank. <br />This waste pile will continue to receive material from the ongoing mining <br />operation. <br />A. The Division has approved plans for use, construction and maintenance of a coal <br />mine waste disposal area. Details concerning the construction of the disposal <br />15 <br />
