The applicant may charge the owner or occupant requesting the copy the actual cost of reproducing the pre-blast survey.
(D) Initiation of Blasting Operations: Before the initiation of blasting operations, the pre-blast surveys shall be completed, unless permission to conduct a pre-blast survey has been denied or contact with the owner or occupant of the structure could not be made after due diligence on the part of the surveyor to make such contact. The applicant shall submit to the Fire Prevention Division a copy of a pre-blast survey log which contains a list of properties and/or utility lines eligible for pre-blast surveys, and which shows a list of properties and/or utility lines which received pre-blast surveys. Blasting may commence if the pre-blast surveys are completed, or permission to conduct a pre-blast survey has been denied, and the ten (10) day period in which a utility company that has utility lines within 500 feet of the proposed blasting site has to object to the intent to blast or to request additional time to review the plans, has expired.
8-605 PERMIT – EXPIRATION AND REISSUING.
A. Expiration: Permits shall expire thirty (30) days after the date of issuance.
