C. Monitoring Guidelines.
1. All overpressure on the Real Estate shall be monitored by Vibra- Tech
Engineering, Inc. C'Vibra-Tech"), who shaJI be responsible for reviewing
and analyzing the data. Provided, h~wever, that if Martin Marietta
demonstrates that on average during a calendar twelve (12) month period
no mor:e than two (2) blasts per month result in air qverpressure exceeding
120 db for a period of tln'ee (3) years, it shall be entitled to submit a plan
for self-monitoring and the Director is authorized to approve such plan if it
contains substantially the same monitoring specified herein.
2. All blasts' on the Real .tstate shall be monitored by no less than six
properly calibrated seismographs recording horizontal and vertical ground
vibrations and air overpressure. The location of the monitoring stations
shall be acceptable to the Director. All equipment for the monitoring of
blasts will be maintained and calibrated by the monitoring company
exclusively.
3. The Director may require that additional monitoring stations be located, or
that existing monitoring stations be relocat~d to or from certain sites;
provided, however, that Matiin Marietta shall not be required to provide
more than two additional monitoring locations'at any given point in time.

Estate to the Director for the preceding year. 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
