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.
