3. HAZARD AND RISK ASSESSMENT <br /> The general and site specific blasting hazards and environmental impacts will be defined for each <br /> blasting site.Blasting plans and procedures will incorporate all reasonable measures necessary to <br /> eliminate negative impacts on persons and minimize negative impacts on property and the <br /> environment.The following general hazard areas shall be reviewed to help identify potential site- <br /> specific hazards and controls for each blast site. <br /> 3.1. Define public and commercial access,and traffic volumes. <br /> 3.2. Determine the relative location and condition of nearby structures. <br /> 3.3. Determine vibration and air overpressure limits(or peak water pressure limits—if blast is <br /> under water). <br /> 3.4. Determine public and regulatory notification requirements. <br /> 3.5. Know the location and condition of all nearby utilities that are above and below the ground <br /> or water surface. <br /> 3.6. Define who is responsible for any damage,or claims of damage,to any nearby property. <br /> 3.7. Study the local area blasting history with respect to incidents,damage claims,or litigation. <br /> 3.8. Determine specific environmental impacts that might require special blasting control <br /> measures. <br /> 3.9. Define hazardous material notification requirements for employees,and develop a program <br /> to implement it. <br /> 4. EXPLOSIVE STORAGE <br /> If temporary explosive storage magazines are used on or near the site, the blaster-in-charge will <br /> ensure that full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations governing explosive storage is <br /> maintained. <br /> 4.1. The blaster-in-charge will thoroughly review and understand all regulations enforced by <br /> Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulations, as <br /> described in the Organized Control Act of 1970, Title XI — Regulation of Explosives — <br /> Public Law 91-492 as amended by the SAFE EXPLOSIVES ACT on November 25, 2003 <br /> with regard to: <br /> 4.1.1. Magazine construction requirements <br /> 4.1.2. Locking requirements <br /> 4.1.3. Inventory record keeping requirements <br /> 4.1.4. Explosive loss reporting requirements.Immediately report by calling: <br /> 1-888-ATF-BOMB <br /> 4.1.5. Table of distance requirements <br /> 4.2. Required magazine permits will be obtained as required by local or state authorities. <br /> 4.3. Emergency action plans will be submitted to local emergency response agencies. <br /> 5. ON-SITE EXPLOSIVE TRANSPORTATION <br /> The blaster-in-charge will ensure that: <br /> Page 2 <br />
