• Prior to any blast,the department must be notified and a Chief Fire Officer must be
present to document and witness the blast. This detail will be your financial
responsibility and will consist of the contractual minimum of four hours paid at the
current detail rate.
• A comprehensive written blasting plan for the duration of the permit must be developed
and submitted prior to commencing blasting operations.
• Pre blast surveys must be offered to all residents in accordance with the requirement of
527CMR Article 13.
• Prior to conducting the first blast under this permit, a meeting must be held to address
the concerns of residents. As we have agreed,this meeting will be held at 7:00 on
October 17, 2000.
Please contact me with any questions pertaining to this situation.
