If after blasting actives have been completed, a neighbor discovers potential damage to their <br /> structures, i.e.foundation or wall cracking, broken windows, rock falls, etc., the neighbor should notify <br /> Summit Brick and Tile Company.A complaint may also be filed with the Colorado DRMS.A <br /> representative from Summit Brick will typically visit the structure owner to start the investigation within <br /> 24 hours. Based on the results of the initial investigation,The company will make arrangements for <br /> additional data collection by a company representative,with the structure owner, and a representative <br /> from Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety present.The inspection will again be recorded in the <br /> same fashion it was for the initial pre-blast survey.The new survey and the original survey so it can be <br /> compared to identify new versus pre-existing features. During the course of the investigation the DRMS, <br /> the neighbor, and Summit Brick can also review the blast monitoring results prepared by the blasting <br /> contractor. Other data and reports may be reviewed as necessary to help determine the cause of the <br /> damage. <br /> If the damage is determined to have likely resulted from blasting, Summit Brick and Tile <br /> Company will review the blasting log of the recent blasting activity and make modifications to future <br /> blasting to reduce ground vibration and air over pressure instances. Summit Brick, the neighbor, and <br /> DRMS will monitor the damage over the course of the next 3 shots (or more if necessary)to determine if <br /> further damage occurs and to determine the proper course of repairs to the structure and the <br /> responsibility for any repairs. During this monitoring period, Summit Brick and Tile Company will place a <br /> blast monitoring device on the property of the concerned neighbor to log vibration and air over pressure <br /> near the structure. Should the reported damage be substantial (i.e. hazardous conditions), Summit Brick <br /> and Tile Company will immediately work with the neighbor to find a suitable firm to complete repairs. <br /> This will be completed at Summit Bricks costs. <br /> At the completion of the investigation by the DRMS, if the damage in question is determined to <br /> have NOT been caused by blasting activities an agreement will be reached between Summit Brick and <br /> Tile Company and the neighbors to determine the extent of structure repair costs, if any, the company <br /> will be responsible for . <br /> 3 <br />
