The surveyor shall promptly conduct a pre-blast survey of utility company structures if a utility company representative requests one from the surveyor.
(B) Written Reports: The surveyor shall examine the interior and/or exterior of the structure, documenting through the use of photography or videotaping equipment, any existing damage and other physical factors that could reasonably be affected by the blasting operation. In the event a claim of damage is made, a written report of the surveyor’s pre-blast survey or examination of the structure shall be prepared. All photographs shall be identified by number. The written report shall be signed by an authorized representative of the company or firm that performed the pre-blast surveys.

Upon request, the applicant shall provide to the owner of the structure making the request, a copy of the pre-blast survey of the requesting party’s surveyed structure. No person other than the owner or occupant of the surveyed structure shall receive a copy of the pre-blast survey of the structure, unless otherwise provided by law. 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.
