Blasting Information

 

Upcoming Blasting:

Blasting is scheduled for the week of May 21-25, 2018.  Blasting is expected to occur near Sycamore Lane, Confederate Cove and Rebel Ridge.  All is dependent on weather, site conditions and equipment.

 

Time of Day:

Blasting events are planned between the hours of 9AM to 4PM in accordance with the permit.  Only under unusual circumstances and with the approval of the Fire Marshal would blasting occur outside of this range.

 

The timing and frequency of the blasting events are determined daily and may change due to factors such as weather, site conditions and equipment.

 

Warning Sirens:

Sirens are sounded prior to and after each blast event.  The sirens are intended to clear the site work zone (300’ radius).

 

Sirens may not be heard by persons outside the work zone.  Conditions such as distance, wind, topography and location of the blast may make the siren inaudible to persons outside this work zone.

 

Compliance:

Blasting events are monitored for regulatory compliance by the City of Lexington Fire Marshal and/or City of Lexington Building Official.

 

The blasting company has controlled and limited the size of each blasting event to be within approved regulatory guidelines

 

Blasting occurs only when alternate solutions have been explored and blasting has been determined to be the better alternative.

 

Individual neighbor concerns are being logged, acknowledged and attempts at contact have been made.  Follow up contacts have occurred.
