FIGURE 2: Typical Drill Hole Profile Shown as Loaded With Explosives Signage— Blast notification signs will be placed at each entrance to Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry to notify the customers, as well as the neighbors who use corridors through the active mining area, of the blast schedule. This will require 5 signs in total. Each sign will state whether there is a blast scheduled for the day or not. If there is a blast scheduled,the sign will also display the time the blast is scheduled for. These signs will also communicate the blasting audible signal guide including length of audible signal relating to the timeline before or after the blast. Communication— On the day of the blast,the scheduled blast time will be communicated to all personnel onsite. Scale house and reception personnel will inform customers,visitors, and vendors of the scheduled blast time and times when they are expected to leave the mining area. The primary notification regarding planned dates and times for blasting will be signs at each entrance to the property. Information on these signs will be posted 24 hours ahead of a planned blast and will be updated regarding time as necessary thereafter. As the quarry operation develops,Transit Mix Concrete Co.will make good faith efforts to provide further notification of blast schedules to those in the immediate vicinity of the quarry. Blast Area Clearing and Firing Procedures— Prior to a blast being initiated, all Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry personnel,visitors,vendors, and customers will be: • Removed from the mining, plant, and shop areas and stationed at the scale house/office building. • The site manager or lead blaster will inspect the mining,plant and shop areas to confirm all personnel have cleared from the blast area.
