2.04.5 General Description of Hydrology and Geology <br />• <br />This application provides a description of geology, hydrology and ground <br />and surface quality and quantity on all lands within the permit area, <br />the adjacent area and the general area, as defined in Section 1.04 <br />(DEFIPIITIONS) of the Colorado Regulatory Program. <br />Because of the past surface and underground mining activities along Coal <br />Gulch, a good general knowledge of the geology of the area has been <br />developed. Details on the geology of the permit and adjacent areas are <br />set forth in Section 2.04.6. The regional geology is shown graphically <br />on the Regional Geology Map (Map 5). <br />The "general area" with respect to hydrology is defined by Section 1.04 <br />as that topographic basin that surrounds the area to be mined during the <br />life of the operation. The planned Peerless Resources operation is a <br />continuation of the mining that has been conducted in the general area <br />• on either side of Coal Gulch. Information on the hydrology of the <br />general, adjacent, and permit areas is set forth in Section 2.04.7. <br /> <br />2.04-9 <br />
