B. Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Assessment <br />The Division makes assessments of the probable cumulative hydrologic <br />impacts of anticipated and permitted coal mining operations within <br />applicable ground water and surface water study areas of Colorado. The <br />assessments are periodically updated as new reviews are made of the <br />various operations within a water study area in conjunction with permit <br />renewals, midterm reviews, and considerations of proposed significant <br />revisions to the permits. The most current Cumulative Hydrologic Impact <br />Assessments are contained within a separate volume filed in the Division <br />office near the public copies of permit application packages for the coal <br />mines in the state. The reader is therefore referred to this volume for <br />the most recent Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Assessments of the ground <br />and surface water areas that include the King Coal Mine. <br />Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-33-114(2)(c) and Rule 2.07.6(2)(c), the Division <br />has assessed the probable cumulative impacts of all anticipated coal <br />mining in the general area on the hydrologic balance and the operations <br />proposed under the application have been designed to prevent damage to <br />the hydrologic balance outside the proposed permit area. <br />X.
