N.M. Admin. Code § 19.8.20.2029 - USE OF EXPLOSIVES: PRE-BLASTING SURVEY
A. At least 30 days before initiation of
blasting, the operator shall notify, in writing, all residents or owners of
dwellings or other structures located within 1/2 mile of the permit area how to
request a preblasting survey.
B. A
resident or owner of a dwelling or structure with 1/2 mile of any part of the
permit area may request a preblasting survey. This request shall be made, in
writing, directly to the operator or to the director, who shall promptly notify
the operator. 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.
C. The operator shall determine the condition
of the dwelling or structure and shall document any preblasting damage and
other physical factors that could reasonably be affected by the blasting.
Structures such as pipelines, cables, transmission lines, and cisterns, wells,
and other water systems warrant special attention; however, the assessment of
these structures may be limited to surface conditions and other readily
available data.
D. The written
report of the survey shall be signed by the person who conducted the survey.
Copies of the report shall be promptly provided to the director and to the
person requesting the survey. If the person requesting the survey disagrees
with the contents and/or recommendations contained therein, he may submit to
both the operator and the director a detailed description of the specific areas
of disagreement.
E. Any surveys
requested more than 10 days before the planned initiation of blasting shall be
completed by the operator before the initiation of
blasting.
