Mr. Liesveld <br />Page 12 <br />October 10, 2013 <br />4. Please provide a commitment to not exceed a maximum peak particle velocity of 1.0 <br />inch/sec. The maximum peak particle velocity shall apply at the point where a straight line, <br />between the nearest shot hole and the nearest house, intersects the property boundary <br />between the mine site and the adjacent residence. <br />5. The Division requires all Operators using explosives to complete a blasting report for each <br />shot. The report must be retained by the Operator for at least 3 years and be available for <br />inspection by the Division on demand. The record shall contain the following data: <br />a) Location, date and time of blast; <br />b) Name, signature, and license number of blaster -in- charge; <br />c) Identification, direction and distance in feet, from the nearest blast hole to the nearest <br />potentially affected structure, such as any dwelling, school, church, or community or <br />institutional building either: <br />i. Not located in permit area; or <br />ii. Not owned nor leased by the person who conducts the mining operations. <br />d) Weather conditions, including temperature, wind direction, and approximate velocity; <br />e) Type of material blasted; <br />f) Sketches of the blast pattern including number of holes, burden, spacing, and delay <br />pattern. Sketches shall also show decking, if holes are decked to achieve different delay <br />times within a hole; <br />g) Diameter and depth of holes; <br />h) Types of explosives used; <br />i) Total weight of explosives used per hole and maximum weight of explosives per 8- <br />millisecond period; <br />j) Initiation system; <br />k) Type and length of stemming; <br />1) Mats or other protections used; <br />m) Type of delay detonator and delay periods used; <br />n) Number of persons in the blasting crew; and <br />o) Seismographic records, including: <br />i. Type of instrument, sensitivity, and the calibration signal of the gain setting or <br />certification an annual calibration; <br />ii. Exact location of instrument and the date, time and its distance from the blast; <br />iii. Name of the person taking the reading; <br />iv. Name of the person and firm analyzing the seismographic record; <br />V. The vibration level recorded. <br />6. Please specify how many blasting events will occur on a daily basis. <br />7. The drill hole profile included in the blasting plan shows explosives will be loaded into a 3 <br />inch diameter drill hole that is 12 ft. deep. The dimensions of the drill hole will accommodate <br />30 lbs. of explosives (ANFO). Please specify how a drill hole with the above referenced <br />dimensions will be loaded with 60 lbs. of explosives; provide a separate drill hole profile for <br />blasts requiring 60 lbs. of explosives, if necessary. <br />
