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 DBMS. 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 File 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 />
