In accordance with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad, we have prepared this report to present tbe 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 tbe 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 Carlsbad, 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 tbe 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 PreBleat Inapeetion September 5, 1991 PROCRDDRB Page 2 All structurea 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. - -- - _- - - Tire 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 mall, return receipt requested, to the owner of tbe property listed on the most recently adopted tax roll. The letter of request shall have an explanation of tbe 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 tbe 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 pre-blast inspection shall be made available to the City of Carlsbad by tbe 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 lnitiatlng system shall be combined with a sequential blasting machine with multi-circuit capacity, thus mahWning a minimum of eight mllllseconds between delays. Explosive materials shall consist of blasting agents (Nitro-carbo nitrate or acceptable alternative) 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 but a minimum hole depth of eight feet regardless of cut shall be mahuained 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 dirt blanket with a minimum thickness of three feet shall be used if blasting is performed within 100 feet of any existing strucmre-s. If blasting mats are used, they may consist of rubber tires, steel cables, or acceptable alternative. The 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 structores 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 ln 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 dll blankets or blasting mats; and the name of the full-time, on-site supervisor who is directly responsible for blasting operations. Monitoring All shots should be monitored and recorded to adjust shots as needed to give due consideration to local residents and to maxlmlxe efficiency of drill and blast work. SCS&T 90’21113 September 5, 1991 Page 4 - ,,- - - - - - .- - - - - - Seismographic equipment that measures botb ground and air vibration shall be utillxed. Examples of such seismographs are the Instantell DS-477, the Berger Safeguard WOOD, the Nomls 5000, and the Bison 9000. A typical manufacturer’s Features and Benefits sheet (for the Bison) is provided in the appendix. Seismographs shall be located at tbe structure nearest the blast site and at other locations as required by the City Engineer. Special attention should be given to monitoring blasting operations near existing structurea. The ground motion between each shot and tbe nearest structure shall be recorded and reviewed to ensure that the safe vibration standards of tbe U.S. Bureau of Mines are not exceeded. 1) All blasting events, within tbe public right-of-way or upon/within any construction site under the charge of the City Engineer, shall require 48 hour orior notification to tbe Engineering Department to schedule a pre-blasting meeting prior to commencing any site preparation. 2) Blasting contractor shall submit to the Citv &&Bge-blasti-: (a) 00 Cc) 6% (4 0 One copy of San Diego County Explosive Permit One copy of Certificate of Insurance One copy of Treasury Bureau License One copy of California Highway Patrol License A tentative schedule for all blasting operations, to include whether blasting is considered minor or major. ‘Ibe plan for notification of neighborhood residents and site inspections of all structures within 1000 feet of blast site.
