The blasting report shall contain the date, time, total explosives, pounds per delay, and systems used for each blast, together with a statement that the blasting complied with all applicable laws and regulations. The annual blasting report shall include a review of blasts that register a PPV greater than .2 inches per second and have a frequency below 20hz, as well as a separate category of blasts for which the air blast exceeds 120 db. In the event that in any calendar twelve (12) month period more than an average df two (2) blasts per month have a frequency level of less than 20hz for any blasts that exceed .2 inches per second peak particle velocity, Martin Marietta shall submit all information iIi respect thereto to Vibra- Tech for its review and analysis. As a pm1 of the next succeeding blasting l'eport contemplated by this paragraph 6, Martin Marietta shall submit to the Director the recommendations made by Vi bra- Tech in order to modify the blasting practices so as to achieve the goal of frequencies at oraboye 20hz for blasts that exceed .2 inches per second peak particle velocity. D. Reportable Events. 1. Martin Marietta shall' report to the DOCS any blast that exceeds .5 inches per second, or otherwise does not comply with the Bureau of Mines Siskind curve with respect to a combination of frequency and peak particle velocity in either circumstance at any of the monitors required hereunder in subparagraph B.1(3) above (such blasts are hereafter referred to as "Reportable Events"). The report to DOCS shall contain complete information with respect to such Reportable Events, including blast layout and design, together with all seismic, decibel, weather and other data gathered as part of Martin Marietta's monitoring. Martin Marietta agrees to cooperate with the Director with respect to investigations of complaints about blasting and to provide information and data as reasonably necessary to investigate such complaints. Additionally, Martin Marietta shall make the agreed consultant available to discuss with the Director the source or reason for such complaints and to make any recommendations to address such complaints. 2. If five (5) or more Reportable Events occur in any calendar year, within ten (10) days of the fifth event Martin Marietta shall sJlbmit all infoffilation on such Reportable Events to Vibra- Tech Inc. for its review and analysis. Within twenty (20) days after such data is submitted to Vi bra- Tech, or at such time as is agreed to by DOCS, Martin Marietta and Vi bra-Tech shall meet with DOCS to discuss the Reportable Events and 6 any recommendations by Vibra-Tech with respect to blasting patterns "or prac6ces to minimize Reportable Events. It shall not be presumed that a change in blasting pattcms or practices is necessary merely because 'of such Reportable Events, but if Vibra- Tech reasonably believes that a change is necessary to .prevent frequent RepOliable Events, it shall recommend such changes in blasting practices; as it deems necessary. These recommendations shall be discussed at the meeting with DOCS, and Martin Marietta shall be entitled to suggest changes or modifications to the recommendations that would make them less onerous or more acceptable, and Vibra-Tech shall consider Martin Marietta's comments in that regard. Within ten (10) days after the meeting, however, Vibra- Tech shall finalize its recommendation and Martin Marietta agrees to implement such commercially reasonable recommendatioils as eXpeditiously as is conmlerciaUy practicable, given the nature of the recommendations. 3. Martin Marietta further agrees to grant Vibra- Tech access to its records upon request by the DOCS for the purpose of Vi bra- Tech auditing them to detemline that Martin Marietta is complying with the reporting obligations with respect to Reportable Events contained herein. Any audit report by Vibra- Tech shall report only whether Martin Marietta has complied with its reporting obligations herein and, if it has not, the instances and manner in which it has not complied, including the information and data required to be submitted by Martin Marietta for any Reportable Event. 4. In January of each year, Vibra-Tech shall review Martin Marietta's blasting records and blasting programs for the prior year for the purpose of making such recommendations as Vibra~ Tech believes may reasonably be necessary to reflect changes in the state of blasting technology that have become commercially practicable. Mattin Marietta agrees to consider the recolTImendedchanges in good faith, and to implement those that do not unreasonably interfere with its operations and are commercially 'practicable, but othervvise shall be under no obligation to implement them so long as it has less than three Reportable Events during the previous calendar year. 5. An air overpressure measurement in excess of 120 db shall also be deemed a Reportable Event and the occurrence of five (5) such air overpressure Reportable Events in a one hundred twenty day (120) period shall trigger the requirements set ~orth above in subparagraph (2) above. Air overpressure and vibration Reportable Events shall not be combined to trigger the requirements of subparagraph (2) above. 6. In the event Vibra- Tech is lmable to serve in the capacity described hereinabove, Martin Marietta shall propose to DOCS another nationally recognized engineer with experience in mining activities such as those undertaken by Martin Marietta on the Real Estate. Such replacement shall be reasonably acceptable to DOCS. 7 7. These specific blasting conditions in this Section II are intended to and do constitute all of the commitments made by Martin Marietta with respect to surface blasting and supersede all other provisions o,f these conditions with respect to surface blasting. III. Studies and Monitoring. If the Director determines that additional study or monitoring of off-site impacts from operations on the Real Estate is necessary, h~ or she shall notify Martin Marietta of the particular matter needing study. Martin Marietta shall then present the Director with a proposal to address the matter raised by the ,Director, at Martin Marietta's expense, within forty-five (45) days. If the Director agrees with the proposal, Martin Marietta shall cause the study or monitoring to be perfonned at its expense in the time frame set forth in the proposal and shall provide a report of the results to the Director. If the Director doe:;; not agree with Martin Marietta's proposal, he or she shall modify it or present Martin Marietta with his or her own proposal and Martin Marietta shall pay the cost of such studies. IV. Water Monitoring; Martin Marietta will cooperate with the City Utilities Department (the "Department") in the development of a water quality monitoring program acceptable to the Department to monitor potential impacts from open pit mining on the Real Estate. Martin Marietta recognizes that this may require different or additional wells or monitoring protocols than those currently called for and agrees to pay for those that are made necessary by 111e mining approved herein, as determined in the Depat1ment's reasonable judgment. Martin Marietta recognizes that the Department may wish to conduct additional monitoring at its own expense and agrees to cooperate with the Department to pennlt such additional monitoring. Further, Martin Marietta shall grant the Department access to the monitoring points, flow meters, and related areas at all reasonable times, subject to compliance with MSHA regulations. The Department shall also have access to monitoring locations on an as needed basis for emergency purposes.
