In accordance with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad, we have prepared this report to present the pertinent information regarding blasting at the site. All blasting operations shall be done in accordance with the San Diego County Blasting Ordinance and the General Industry Safety Orders which are attached hereto and the requirements of the City of Carlsbad. In the case of conflict between the County Blasting Ordinance, the General Industry Safety Orders, the City of Carlsbad requirements, or the recommenda- tions of this report, the more-stringent criteria shall apply. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to address the procedures and requirements for blasting in the Calavera Hills project in the City of C&bad, California, as will be required during grading operations for Villages Q and T. The site is underlain by nonrippable granitic and metavolcanic bedrock occurring at depths from 3 to 33 feet which will require blasting in those areas which the proposed cuts exceed such depths. Further discussion of the underlying materials can be found in the “Report of Supplemental Soil Investigation” for Calavera Hills, Village Q and T, College Boulevard, Carlsbad, California, dated October 6, 1988 prepared by Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. - - - - - - -~ - - - - - .- - SCS&T 9021113 September 5, 1991 PROCEDURR Page 2 I%-Blast Inspection All stmctures within 1000 feet of any proposed detonation shall be inspected for existing structural defects. Defects shall be classified as either structural or cosmetic. Features such as stucco or drywall cracks are usually considered to be normal phenomena and should be noted on the inspection even though they are cosmetic in nature. The inspection shall be performed by an inspector approved by the City Engineer. Proof of qualifications and insurance satisfactory to the City Engineer shall be provided 10 days prior to the start of any inspection program. A request for permission to inspect from the approved inspector is required prior to inspection. The requests for permission shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owner of the property listed on the most recently adopted tax roll. The letter of request shall have an explanation of the purpose of the inspection and a stamped, addressed envelope with a response letter for return to the developer. The form and content of the letter will be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to mailing. A copy of the materials mailed to and from each owner and a copy of the responded return receipt shall be delivered to the City Engineer 10 working days prior to the start of any blasting. Any flaws detected during the inspection shall be recorded and documented with photographs. If a homeowner refuses inspection, such refusal shall be documented. A report of the preblast inspection shall be made available to the City of Carlsbad by the approved inspector. Post-blast inspections will be performed as required by the City of Carlsbad. Blasting Operation Either electrical or non-electric initiating systems may be used. The initiating system shall be combined with a sequential blasting machine with multl-clrcuit capacity, thus maintaining a minimum of eight milliseconds between delays. Explosive materials shall consist of blasting agents (Nitro-carbo nitrate or acceptable akernative) primed with high-explosives primer. - - - - -~- - SCS&T 9021113 September 5, 1991 Page 3 The hole diameter and depth of bore holes will vary depending on site conditions and distance to structures. Cuts can range from 10 feet to 28 feet throughout the project. Sub-drill (depth below excavation line) will range from three to four feet hut a minimum hole depth of eight feet regardless of cut shall be maintained to control shots and protect against flyrock. The stemming is determined based on the burden of drill pattern and the type of rock being blasted. The need for blasting mats is not anticipated but a dii blanket with a miniium thickness of three feet shall be used if blasting is performed within 100 feet of any existing structures. If blasting mats are used, they may consist of rubber tires, steel cables, or acceptable alternative. ‘Ihe required weight of explosives is determined by factoring the hole diameter, length of explosives column, and density of explosives. It is anticipated that the weight of explosives per delay will range from 15 pounds to 118 pounds per delay. The maximum weight of explosives per delay shall not exceed 125 pounds without prior approval from the City Engineer. Blasting in the vicinity of existing structures shall be performed in such a manner that vibrations at the structure do not exceed the safe standards of the Bureau of Mines. Particle velocity should be kept to not more than 1 inch/second as permitted by the Oftice of Surface Miig. See the Bureau of Mines chart included in the appendix. Prior to any blasting at the site, the blasting contractor shall submit copies of the blasting schedule to the City of Carlsbad. The schedule shall contain the following information as a minimum: site plan with blasting locations; type of initiating system; name and quantity of explosive material; name of explosive primer; locations, diameters, and depths of boreholes; pounds of explosive per delay; locations of dii blankets or blasting mats; and the name of the full-time, on-site supervisor who is directly responsible for blastig operations. Monitoring All shots should be monitored and recorded to adjust shots as needed to give due consideration to local residents and to maximise efficiency of drill and blast work. - .- - - - - SCS&T 9021113 September 5,199l Page 4 Seismographic equipment that measures both ground and air vibration shall be utillzed. Examples of such seismographs are the Instantell DS-477, the Berger Safeguard lOOOD, the Nomis 5000, and the Bison 9000. A typical manufacturer’s Features and Benefits sheet (for the Bison) is provided ln the appendix. Seismographs shall be located at the structure nearest the blast site and at other locations as required by the City Engineer. Special attention should be given to monhorhrg blasting operations near existing structures. The ground motion between each shot and the nearest structure shall he recorded and reviewed to ensure that the safe vibration standards of the U.S. Bureau of Mines are not exceeded.
