individuals to whom the original schedule was sent shall be notified by telephone or personal <br />contact followed by written notice. A copy of the published blasting schedule will be mailed to <br />the local utility companies and local business, such as San Miguel Power Company, Nucla- <br />Naturita Telephone Company, and the Nucla Sanitation Department. As you can see, from <br />Map2.05.3(6)(a)-1, there are seventeen habitable residences located within a 2640 foot radius <br />of the blast area over the permit life. Each one of these residences will receive a copy of the <br />blast schedule and letters telling them how to receive apre-blast survey as well as to whether or <br />not they wish to be notified not less than 24 hours before each blast. Since the blast area will <br />move over the permit life, all seventeen residents will not necessarily be contacted every year. <br />The list of the people contacted in the 2002-2003 blast notification period is shown in <br />Attachment 2.05.3(6)(a)-6. <br />Blasters <br />All blasting operations will be conducted under the direct supervision of competent, trained, <br />experienced, and certified blasters with proven work records who understand the hazards <br />• involved. The blasters will be certified by the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology in <br />accordance with the blaster certification program of Colorado. Persons responsible for blasting <br />operations at a blasting site will be familiar with the blasting plan and applicable performance <br />standards. <br />Blasting Signs, Warnings and Access Control <br />Blasting area signs and blasting warning signs will be placed along the perimeter of blasting <br />areas and permit boundaries, respectively, and at points of access that could reasonably be <br />expected to be used by the general public. Blasting area signs shall be periodically moved to <br />effectively delineate blasting areas. <br />Audible warning and all clear signals shall be given prior to and following a blast, respectively. <br />The warning signal consists of three short signals from a horn audible for one-half mile from the <br />point of the blast. The all clear signal consists of one long steady signal from a horn audible for <br />one-half mile from the point of the blast. Each person who regularly works or resides in the <br />permit area or within one-half mile of the permit boundary shall be notified periodically of the <br />• <br />(Revised 12 Nov 2002) 2.05.3(6)(a) 9 <br />
