minimum: the name, address, and telephone number of operator; identification of the specific <br /> areas in which blasting will take place; dates and time periods when explosives are to be <br /> detonated; methods to be used to control access to the blasting area; and the type and patterns of <br /> audible warning and all-clear signals to be used before and after blasting. <br /> 7. Transportation of Explosives <br /> The transportation of explosives to and from the site will be handled by the same licensed third- <br /> party blasting contractor conducting blasting on site. On the day of the scheduled blast, the pre- <br /> determined amount of bulk explosives and blasting accessories will be transported to site in <br /> vehicles that are specifically designed and equipped to carry explosives from site to site. After a <br /> blast is loaded and shot, any product not consumed in the day's blast are inventoried, volumes of <br /> bulk explosives and accessories used and unused will be documented, and surplus materials are <br /> transported back to the secure location in the same vehicles used to transport the explosive <br /> materials to site. <br /> 8. Loading of Explosives <br /> On the day of a scheduled blast,the third-party blast crew and trucks will arrive at the site with <br /> bulk explosives and blasting accessories. The typical process for loading the explosives is: <br /> 1) A NONEL blasting cap and cast booster are placed into each hole with the down hole lead <br /> line secured at the collar or top of the hole. <br /> 2) With the cap and booster securely in the hole, the bulk explosives are loaded using the <br /> following techniques based on hole condition (Figure 2). <br /> a) If the hole is wet,the end of a hose, approximately 100 feet long, is placed at the bottom <br /> of the hole and a 100% emulsion product is pumped in from the bottom displacing the <br /> water in the hole. <br /> b) If the holes are not directly accessible by the bulk explosive blasting truck, the hose is <br /> moved from hole to hole. At this point, if the holes are dry, the 100% straight emulsion <br /> product is loaded from the top of the hole. If the holes are wet the same procedure is <br /> followed as noted above. <br /> Young Ranch Resource <br /> November 2020 15 / n 1..wki and A&s ixtm NAX <br />
