Blasting Plan - CoLORADo ROSE RED GRANITE QUARRY <br /> The following information was originally submitted to the <br /> Division on October 25, 2013 as part of the first adequacy review <br /> response for the Special 111 permit application. The methods <br /> described will be use as this area expands . It was prepared by <br /> Bradley Blasting and revised to include newer information now <br /> requested by the Division. <br /> The Pre-Blast Survey will be used to document the existing <br /> condition of a structure (s) prior to the commencement of any <br /> blasting activities being conducted within five hundred feet of <br /> the structure . This survey will be offered to the neighbors of <br /> the Colorado Rose Red Granite Quarry, that have a structure <br /> located within 500 feet of the blasting activities at no cost to <br /> the property owner . <br /> The pre-blast survey is meant to protect both the neighbor and <br /> Colorado Rose Red. It does this by providing thorough <br /> documentation of the current, existing condition of the <br /> structures surrounding the mine . Once blasting has begun, this <br /> documentation will be used to compare any suspected changes that <br /> are reported to the original condition of the property. These <br /> surveys will be used to identify and record the pre-existence of <br /> visible cracking or other defects in a structure before blasting <br /> begins on a new Area . It is probable that some structures may <br /> have been inspected during the previous analysis because they <br /> were within one-half mile of the previous blasting area . <br /> The survey will be done in three steps, In the first step, <br /> Colorado Rose will use aerial photographs, county assessor data, <br /> and maps to prepare a list of potentially affected structures . <br /> Landowner interviews may also be conducted to identify structure <br /> located within the 500 feet radius of any give blasting area . In <br /> the second step, Colorado Rose will send notifications by <br /> certified mail to the owners of the structures at least 30 days <br /> prior to any blasting being conducted within 500 feet the <br /> structure . The survey will be complimentary to the neighbor. <br /> Included in the notification will be a description of the process <br /> that will take place on the day of the inspection, what the <br /> inspector will be looking for, and how the inspection will be <br /> documented. Colorado Rose Red will recommend that the landowner <br /> collect any documents relevant to the structures that will be <br /> evaluated; these may include date and details on the structure <br /> construction or any other information they would like to be <br /> considered during the inspection. Also included with the <br /> notification will be a questionnaire that each neighbor will <br /> complete and will be asked to return it within 20 days of the <br /> notice mailing date . This form will be used as consent to <br /> complete the survey or as statement by the landowner declining <br /> the survey. If no questionnaire is returned within the 20 day <br /> reply period the lack of response will be deemed to indicate they <br />
