N.D. Admin Code 69-05.2-17-02 - Performance standards - Use of explosives - Preblasting survey
1. Each operator
shall notify in writing, at least thirty days before blasting, all residents
and owners of manmade dwellings or structures located within one mile [1.61
kilometers] of the permit area how to request a preblasting survey.
2. On request to the commission by a resident
or owner of a dwelling or structure located within one mile [1.61 kilometers]
of any part of the permit area, the operator shall promptly conduct a
preblasting survey of the dwelling or structure and promptly submit a report of
the survey to the commission and requester. Any preblasting survey requested
more than ten days before blasting must be completed before blasting is
initiated. Additions or renovations to a surveyed structure must be surveyed
upon request to the commission.
3.
The survey must determine the condition of the dwelling or structure and
document any preblasting damage and other physical factors that could
reasonably be affected by the blasting. Assessments of structures such as
pipes, cables, transmission lines, and wells and other water systems must be
limited to surface condition and other readily available data. Special
attention must be given to the preblasting condition of wells and other water
systems used for human, animal, or agricultural purposes and to the quantity
and quality of the water.
4. The
written survey report must be prepared and signed by the person who conducted
it. The report may recommend special conditions or proposed adjustments to the
blasting procedure which should be incorporated into the blasting plan. The
requester may notify the permittee and commission in writing of specific areas
of disagreement with the survey results.
