§ 18-68. Flyrock.  


Latest version.
  • Flyrock is material emanating from the blast hole that travels along the ground and in the air. It may not be cast more than half the distance to the nearest dwelling or other occupied structure nor beyond the area of regulated access. It may not be cast off the permit area. Rock, mud and debris fall into the category of flyrock. If blasting is conducted in close proximity to existing structures, additional stemming burden or mats shall be used to prevent flyrock problems.
