If necessary, blasting <br />mats will be used to control flyrock. <br />The maximum peak particle velocity in the blasting operations will be limited to less than or equal to <br />1 inch per - second at the location of any dwelling. The peak particle velocity limitation will be <br />achieved by limiting the amount of explosives to be detonated within any 8 milisecond period in <br />accordance with the following formula: <br />W = (D /60)2 <br />Where: W is in pounds <br />D is in feet <br />Control of Access - Access to blasting areas will be controlled by roadblocks and guards along <br />roads leading to blasting areas. <br />Other Safety Precautions - The following safety precautions will be strictly adhered to during surface <br />blasting operations: <br />• Audible warning signals and oral notices will be given to all persons within one -half <br />mile of the blasting vicinity. <br />• Blasting will be conducted at times announced during the blasting schedule except <br />in hazardous situations, approved by the Division, where safety requires <br />unscheduled detonation. <br />• All -clear signals of a different character than the warning signal will be given after <br />each blast. <br />Permit Renewal RN -6 (04/2014) IV -5 <br />
