(a) On the request of a resident or owner of a man-made dwelling or structure that is located within one-half mile of any part of the area covered under the term of the permit, the applicant or permittee shall conduct a preblasting survey. The request may be made either directly to the applicant or permittee with confirming documents forwarded to the Administrator, or to the Administrator with confirming documents forwarded to the applicant or permittee. The operator shall promptly conduct a preblasting survey of the dwelling or structure and promptly prepare a written report of the survey. An updated survey of any additions, modifications, or renovations shall be performed by the operator if requested by the resident or owner. The operator shall determine the condition of the dwelling(s) and structure(s) 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 shall be limited to surface condition and other readily available data. Special attention shall 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.

(b) A written report of the survey shall be prepared and signed by the person who conducted the survey. The report shall include recommendations of any special conditions or proposed adjustments to the blasting procedures outlined in this Section which should be incorporated into the blasting plan to prevent damage. Copies of the report shall be provided to the person requesting the survey and to the Administrator. The person requesting the survey may submit any written disagreements he has with the results of the survey to the permittee and the Administrator.

(c) Any surveys requested more than three days before the planned initiation of blasting shall be completed by the operator before the initiation of blasting.
