Section 205. — ROCK BLASTING

Description

205.01 This work consists of rock fragmentation blasting using production and controlled blasting techniques to construct engineered rock cuts.

205.02 Definitions.

(a) Production blasting. Blasting using widely spaced blast holes that typically contain larger explosive charges to expedite movement and fragmentation for rock removal.

(b) Controlled blasting. Blasting that includes presplit blasting and cushion blasting hole techniques. Controlled blasting uses closely-spaced and carefully aligned blast holes that typically contain lighter charges than production holes to produce stable, aesthetically pleasing rock faces with minimal blast damage. Controlled blast holes are the first row of blast holes, normally located within 24 inches (600 millimeters) of the top of the staked slope.

(1) Presplit blasting. Presplit blasting detonates closely spaced backslope holes before drilling for production blasting or before detonating the production blasting holes to produce a highly controlled, smooth cut face.

(2) Cushion blasting. Cushion blasting is similar to presplitting, except that the detonation of the cushion holes along the backslope is detonated immediately after the detonation of the production and buffer holes, generally resulting in a more natural cut face appearance.

Construction Requirements

205.03 Regulations. Comply with Federal, state, and local regulations for the purchase, transportation, storage, and use of explosive material. Federal regulations include the following:

(a) Safety and health. OSHA, 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart U.

(b) Storage, security, and accountability. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), 27 CFR Part 555, Commerce in Explosives.

(c) Shipment. DOT, 49 CFR Parts 171-179, 390-397.

(d) National Park Service. For projects in National Park Service lands, comply with National Park Service Director’s Order No. 65, Explosives Use and Blasting Safety.

205.04 Qualifications. Submit the following for approval at least 14 days before drilling and blasting operations begin:

(a) Blaster-in-charge. Furnish an individual who can directly supervise the drilling and blasting crew during drilling, loading, and detonation of charges. Include the following:

Revised by Amendment A001

F-7a

Project: OR BLM RB 330632(1), Cow Creek, PH 1

(1) Name of blaster-in-charge;

(2) A résumé showing at least 5 years’ experience as a blaster-in-charge on projects with similar work;

(3) Copy of a valid blaster license accepted by the state where the project is located for the type of blasting required; and

(4) Five references with knowledge of qualifications and reliability. Include name, relationship, and current telephone number for each reference.

(b) Blasting crew personnel. Names of personnel and evidence they have completed at least 24 hours of blasting safety training in the last five years or have at least two years of blasting experience along with proof of a Federal Employee Possesser Permit for each crew person.

(c) Drillers. Names and evidence they are proficient in drilling methods required to perform the work.

(d) Vibration specialist. Name and résumé showing at least 5 years’ experience as a vibration specialist on projects with similar work.

205.05 Blasting Plans. Submit proof of applicable permits, licenses, and a general blasting plan signed by the blaster-in-charge at least 14 days before drilling and blasting operations. Blasting plans are not required for boulder reduction blasts (mudcapping or blockholing).

(a) General blasting plan. Submit a general blasting plan for review and approval by the CO.

Include the following:

(1) Procedures and safety precautions for transporting, handling, storing, loading, and detonating explosives, conducting pre- and post-blast surveys, monitoring blasts, managing misfires, and removing and disposing of excess explosives.

(2) Explosives transportation and storage plan, including:

(11) When structures are within an area of ground vibration and/or air-blast overpressure concern, the site-specific blast plan shall include the attenuation study information for the affected structures and indicate that the peak particle velocity versus peak frequency will not damage each structure.

205.06 Pre-Blast Condition Survey and Vibration Monitoring and Control. The Contractor is responsible for damage resulting from blast related ground vibrations and air-blast over-pressures.

Determine the need for vibration monitoring depending on soil and rock conditions, blasting parameters as outlined in the blasting plan, and proximity of buildings, structures, utilities, and sensitive natural features that may be subject to damage from ground vibrations or air-blasts. If vibration monitoring is required conform to the following requirements:

(a) If not specified in the contract, establish referenceable blasting criteria for buildings, structures, utilities and natural features that conform to federal, state, or local regulations. Present blasting criteria in terms of distance of the facility or feature from blasting, maximum allowable peak particle velocity limits versus structure type, maximum allowable peak particle velocity versus peak frequency, and air over-pressure structure damage limits.

(b) Conduct a pre-blast condition survey of nearby buildings, structures, utilities, and natural features potentially damaged by blasting-related ground vibrations or air-blast. Document the natural frequency of each affected structure or feature. Use a survey method acceptable to the Contractor’s insurance company. Submit a copy of pre-blast condition survey records with the site-specific blasting plans for CO review.

(c) Control ground vibrations and air-blast over-pressures with properly designed delay sequences and maximum allowable charge weights per delay. Verify allowable charge weights per delay by conducting representative trial blasts and measuring ground vibrations and air-blast over-pressure levels. The attenuation study will enable successful prediction of the peak particle velocity in any component (longitudinal, transverse, or vertical) anywhere on the surface of the structure(s).

Conduct test blasts with blast plan modifications that limit ground vibrations and air-blast over-pressures to levels that will not cause damage to nearby buildings, structures, utilities and/or natural features as determined by the Vibration Specialist. Submit a copy of the attenuation study results and predicted peak particle velocity versus peak frequency for each structure.

(d) When ground vibration or air-blast damage is possible, monitor each blast with digital recording seismographs and air-blast monitoring equipment calibrated within the last year and approved by the CO. Locate monitoring equipment per the directions of the Vibration Specialist, placing a minimum of three recording stations between the blast area and closest susceptible structures, utilities or natural features, as well as at least one station on the structure. For ground vibration monitoring, use self-triggering seismographs capable of measuring peak air blast overpressure and recording particle velocity, displacement and acceleration for three mutually perpendicular components of vibration in the range generally found for controlled blasting. The instrument shall contain internal calibration and triaxial orthogonal transducers with flat frequency response from 2 to 250 hertz with a minimum sampling rate of 1000 data points per second with sufficient memory to store the full blasting sequence and their locations. Seismographs must be capable of producing a permanent digital time history file for each ground motion episode.

F-7d

Project: OR BLM RB 330632(1), Cow Creek, PH 1

(e) Environmental Restrictions and Monitoring. The following environmental restrictions and monitoring requirements must be incorporated in the blast plans:

Prohibit blasting between October 1 and July 15;

Do not use explosives during the period of two hours before sunset until two hours after sunrise;

All blasting will be a minimum of 100 feet (slope distance) from Cow Creek;

Air-blast overpressure and peak particle velocities (PPV) will need to be monitored at the closest water’s edge to the blast during each shot using a piezoelectric hydrophone and triaxial geophones meeting the requirements outlined in 205.06(d). Air-blast overpressures and PPV can not exceed 7.3 pounds per square inch (psi) and 2.0 inches per second (ips), respectively. Monitoring will document that the established tolerances are met during each shot for the duration of the project;

Exposure to peak sound levels shall not exceed 138 dBA at a distance of 300 feet from all shots.

Submit a written document to the CO for each blast that includes: air blast overpressure, peak particle velocity, and peak sound levels for each shot.

Place blast mats over charges prior to detonation;

Do not use surface shots;

Cover detonator cord on the surface, if used, with a minimum of 6 inches of fill; and

All shots should be fired in pre-drilled or dug holes that are small in diameter, shallow, and properly stemmed or back-filled.

Ensure blasting operations incorporate collected data and findings from vibration monitoring by having the Vibration Specialist interpret all seismograph and air-blast records. Submit a copy of the interpreted seismograph and air-blast records to the CO with a certifying signature by the Vibration Specialist. If actual peak particle velocity versus peak frequency measurements exceed those predicted for a structure, the site-specific blast plan will need to be adjusted for the actual structural response to the blasting. The plan may include adjustments to pattern, loading, timing, flyrock measures, etc.

Each blast shall be recorded using digital video equipment from two locations that clearly show the entire proposed blast site, preferably from locations on both sides of the blast.

205.07 Test Blasting. Before beginning full-scale drilling and blasting, demonstrate adequacy of the site specific-blasting plan by drilling, blasting, and excavating a test blast up to 100 lineal feet in length, as measured along centerline, with any proposed containment measures in-place. Conduct the test blast at an approved location within the planned excavation area.

Space blast holes for presplit/cushion blasting no more than 30 inches apart for the initial test blast.

Adjust the spacing based on the results of the test blast(s) for each excavation in differing geology as approved by the CO. Use the approved spacing in the full-scale blasting or subsequent test blasts if necessary.

F-7e

Project: OR BLM RB 330632(1), Cow Creek, PH 1

A test blast is unacceptable when it results in excessive flyrock, potentially damaging ground vibrations or air-blasts, unplanned overbreak and backbreak, excessive damage to the final rock cut face, or results in unwanted overhangs. When a test blast is unacceptable, revise the site-specific blasting plan and conduct additional test blasts until the combination of blast hole pattern spacing, timing, controlled blast-hole alignment, and charges produce acceptable results.

205.08 Blasting. Use explosives and initiating devices less than 1-year old. Locate explosives magazines at sites approved by the CO.

Inspect the pre-blast area and submit the proposed extent of pre-blast clearing and scaling for approval.

Use angle- or fan-drilled holes as needed during initial pioneering operations to obtain the desired face.

Controlled blasting requirements are applicable to pioneering work.

Record and maintain a log of each blast hole drilled identifying the depth, color, and character of the cuttings, penetration rate, hole collar location and hole orientation, and other pertinent information.

Before initiating the blast, prepare a blast plan map and submit it showing designated hole numbers along with individual hole logs completed, dated and signed by the driller.

Ensure blast holes are free of obstructions for the entire depth before placing charges. Take necessary precautions when placing charges so, caving of material from the walls of the holes and the hole collar will not occur.

Mitigate uncontrolled gas pressure loss during blasting and excessive blast noise by stemming the upper portion of blast holes with appropriate dry granular material passing the ½-inch (12.5-millimeter) sieve. Do not stem holes with drill cuttings.

Blast according to the approved site-specific blasting plan. Use blasting mats, rockfall containment systems, and other protective devices to prevent damage to surrounding features.

Stop drilling and blasting operations, and submit a revised site-specific blasting plan according to Subsection 205.05(b), when the following occur:

Slopes are unstable;

Slopes exceed overbreak tolerances within the limits of the excavation, as shown in the Plans, or as determined by the CO for the site geology;

Unwanted overhangs, ridges, or ledges are created;

Excessive blast damage occurs within the limits of the excavation, as shown in the Plans, or as determined by the CO;

Poor fragmentation results in oversize material requiring secondary blasting and rehandling;

Safety of the public is jeopardized;

Property or natural features are endangered;

Excessive or uncontrolled flyrock is generated;

Excessive ground vibration or air-blast over-pressures occurs where damage to buildings, structures, utilities or natural features is possible; or

F-7f

Project: OR BLM RB 330632(1), Cow Creek, PH 1

Desired slope or rock face conditions are not produced.

Remove or stabilize cut face rock that is loose, hanging, or potentially dangerous after each blast.

Scale by methods approved by the CO. Leave minor irregularities or surface variations in place if they do not create a hazard. Excavate and remove material outside of the planned neat line slopes which is unstable and constitutes a potential hazard. Do not drill the next lift until slope stabilization and blast cleanup work is complete.

(a) Production blasting. When conducting cushion blasting or presplitting, drill a lighter-loaded buffer row of production holes on a parallel plane adjacent to the controlled blast line to minimize blast damage to the final slope.

Drill production blast holes a maximum of 4 inches (100 millimeters) in diameter to a sufficient depth such that unbroken rock does not extend above the finish surface. Drill production blast holes to the design depth. If more than 5 percent of the production blast holes in a lift do not conform to the design depth requirements, redrill the shallow holes to the proper. Except when subdrilling, do not drill production blast holes, below the base plane of the controlled blast holes.

Drill production blast holes within two drill hole diameters of the planned collar location. If more than 5 percent of the drill hole collars in a lift are out of tolerance, fill each hole outside of the location tolerance with crushed stone and redrill at the proper.

Detonate production holes in a controlled delay sequence.

(b) Controlled blasting. Use angled or fan drilled holes for pioneering the tops of rock cuts and preparing working platforms. Use equipment or methods approved by the CO for areas not accessible to track drill equipment.

Before drilling, completely remove overburden, soil, and loose or decomposed rock along the top of the excavation for a distance of at least 30 feet (9 meters) beyond the end of the production hole drilling limits, or to the end of the cut.

Use controlled blasting to form the final cut face on rock cuts where the staked slope ratio is 1⅓V:1H or steeper and the slope height is more than 10 feet (3 meters) above the ditch grade.

Use drilling equipment that accurately controls the angle the drill as it enters the rock. Select a lift height and conduct drilling operations so the blast hole spacing and down-hole alignment does not vary more than 8 inches (200 millimeters) from the proposed spacing and alignment. If more than 5 percent of the holes exceed the variance, reduce the lift height and modify drilling operations until the holes are within tolerance.

Drill holes a maximum of 3 inches (75 millimeters) in diameter and within 3 inches (75 millimeters) of the staked collar location. Fill and redrill blast holes outside of the location tolerance when more than 5 percent of the hole collars in a lift are outside of the location tolerance Use crushed stone to fill the blast holes before redrilling. Drill the controlled blast hole line at least 30 feet (9 meters) beyond loaded production holes or to the end of the cut.

F-7g

Project: OR BLM RB 330632(1), Cow Creek, PH 1

Do not exceed 30 feet (9 meters) for bench height or drill hole length. Limit subdrilling of holes to one-half of the hole spacing or 24 inches (600 millimeters) whichever is deeper.

Offset lifts up to 24 inches (600 millimeters) horizontally to allow for drill equipment clearance.

Remove benches resulting from the drilling offset.

Compensate for drift that may occur in the upper lifts. Adjust the drill inclination angle or the initial drill collar location to obtain the required typical section. Limit drilling to one-half of the hole spacing or 24 inches (600 millimeters) whichever is deeper.

Do not use bulk ammonium nitrate and fuel oil for controlled blasting. Only standard explosives manufactured specifically for controlled blasting will be used in controlled blast holes, unless approved by the CO.

Maximum diameter of explosives used in controlled blast holes will be no greater than one-half the diameter of the presplit hole.

205.09 Reporting.

(a) Post-blast. Prepare an post-blast report for blasts. Submit the report within 3 days following a blast and before drilling for the next blast. Include the following:
