NOV attachment Blast 103-02: The log and blast sketch indicate that 82 holes were detonated. The permit states that the maximum will be 72. The log indicates that the blast holes were 24 feet deep. The permit states that the blast holes would be at least 30 feet deep. The log indicates that the blast was initiated with an electric initiation system. The permit states that initiation will be with anon-electric system. The log and blast sketch indicate that 17-ms surface delays were used along rows. The permit states that 9-ms surface delays will be used along rows. The log and blast sketch indicate that 42-ms and 67-ms delays were used between rows. The permit states that 100-ms surface delays will be used between rows. The log indicates that 350-ms downhole delays were used. The permit requires downhole delays to be 600 ms. My reconstruction of the blast from the blast log and blast sketch indicates that there were 49 instances during this blast where two or more holes detonated within 8 milliseconds or less of each other. The permit states that blast holes will have a 9-ms delay between each of them. The maximum weight of explosives used per 8-ms interval is not recorded on the log, as required by Rule 4.08.5(11). The number of persons in the blast crew is not recorded on the blast log, as required by Rule 4.08.5(16). A calibration signal of the seismograph's gain setting, or a certification of annual seismograph calibration, was not available, as required by Rule 4.08.5(17)(a). A record of the airblast level was not recorded on the log, was required by Rule 4.08.5(17)(e). Blast 104-02: The log indicates that the blast holes were 22 feet deep. The permit states that the blast holes would be at least 30 feet deep. The log indicates that explosive material was placed in blast holes to within 6 feet of the surface. The permit states that explosive material would be placed in blast holes no closer than 10 feet from the surface. The log indicates that the blast was initiated with an electric initiation system. The permit states that initiation will be with anon-electric initiation system. The log and blast sketch indicate that 17-ms surface delays were used along rows. The permit states that 9-ms surface delays will be used along rows. The log and blast sketch indicate that 42-ms surface delays were used between rows. The permit states that 100-ms surface delays will be used along rows.
