The pre-blast survey is meant to protect both the neighbor and the operator. It does this by <br /> providing thorough documentation of the current, existing condition of the structures and wells. <br /> Once blasting has begun, this documentation will be used to compare any suspected changes that <br /> are reported to the original condition of the property. <br /> The operator will send notifications by certified mail to neighbors at least 30 days prior to any <br /> blasting being conducted on site. A copy of the Pre-Blast Survey notification is included at the <br /> end of Appendix 3. The survey will be complimentary to the neighbor and will be conducted by <br /> an independent third-party consulting firm that specializes in pre-blast surveys and blast <br /> monitoring. Included in the notification will be a description of the process that will take place <br /> on the day of the inspection, what the inspector will be looking for, and how the inspection will <br /> be documented. Also included with the notification will be a survey response form that each <br /> neighbor will complete and send back to the operator. This form will be used as consent to <br /> complete the survey or as statement by the landowner declining the survey. A lack of response <br /> will be deemed to indicate their declining participation in the survey. Once the form is returned <br /> and a survey is requested, a representative from the independent blasting consulting firm will <br /> contact the neighbor to schedule a date and time to complete the survey. The operator <br /> recommends that the landowner collect any documents relevant to the structures or wells that <br /> will be evaluated; such as date and details on the structure construction, well drilling, and <br /> completion reports. Any surveys requested more than 10 days before the planned initiation of <br /> blasting shall be completed by the operator before the initiation of blasting. <br /> On the day of the survey a representative from the blasting consulting firm will arrive on the <br /> property, introduce themselves, and conduct the inspection. Any documents provided by the <br /> owner will be reviewed at the start of the survey. The consulting representative will have a still <br /> photo camera and a video camera. The representative doing the inspection will photograph and <br /> video document, with voice comments, the exterior and interior of all structures located on the <br /> property. They will document the existing condition of all walls, doors, ceilings, windows and <br /> floors. The survey will include all levels of the structure including the basement and foundation. <br /> Areas that cannot be accessed during the inspection will be noted. The current conditions of the <br /> structure will also be recorded in the form of notes and sketches on a standard inspection form <br /> used by the consulting company. <br /> Young Ranch Resource <br /> November 2020 2 «g Ixe cki and Assucia m V I A A <br />
