• <br />r1 <br />U <br />• <br />2.05.3 <br />(a)(vii) Blasting will be conducted in accordance with the following equation. The <br />maximum weight of explosives to be detonated within any 8-millisecond <br />period will be determined by the formula W = (D=Dg)2 where W =the <br />maximum weight of explosives, in pounds, that can be detonated in any 8- <br />millisecond period; D =the distance, in feet, from the blast to the nearest <br />structure, dwelling, public building, school, church, community or institutional <br />building; and Ds =the scaled-distance factor which is 55 for distances from <br />the blast site of 301 to 5000 feet and 65 for 5001 feet and beyond. <br />To meet the maximum allowable peak particle velocity for ground vibration <br />contained in Rule 4.08.4(10), for a distance D from the blasting site of 800 <br />feet, the Operator will not detonate more than 212 pounds of explosives <br />within any 8-millisecond period. <br />(viii) The applicant does not propose a permanent explosive storage area for the. <br />site. The contractor responsible for the construction of the site will have a <br />temporary explosive storage area. The applicant, for the short term, will rely <br />on the Bowie No. 1 Mine for an explosive storage area. <br />(~) <br />TR-27 <br />Coal Handling Structures <br />A narrative of the coal handling structures is presented above in Section <br />2.03.3(3)(a).
