1. Blasting – All blasting shall be specifically planned, directed, and monitored by a licensed blaster under the Missouri Blasting Safety Act and shall only be conducted on weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Central Standard or Central Daylight Time, as is applicable.
2. Blasting distances – Blasting shall not be conducted closer than 150 linear feet to the nearest easement line of the Osage Beach sewer line easement and no closer than 400 linear feet to the nearest property boundary line of the Joint Sewer Board Sewer Treatment Plant Property.
3. Blast plan – Applicant’s Blast Plan is incorporated by reference as if set out in full in order, a copy is attached to the recommended order. In the event modifications of the Blast Plan are deemed necessary by conditions encountered in the mining at the subject quarry, the modifications to the Blast Plan shall be filed with the Land Reclamation Program as part of the file for Permit No. 0086.
4. Seismographs – Multiple seismographs shall be maintained and operated to monitor the sewer treatment plant and the sewer lines. The seismograph records shall be made available to the Joint Sewer Board, the city of Osage Beach for inspection upon reasonable request. The seismograph records shall be made available to the Land Reclamation Program in accordance with any routine or special inspection of the Bowling Hollow Quarry.
5. Elevation of Mine Floor – The elevation of the floor of the mine (quarry) shall run at or above the grade of the city of Osage Beach’s sewer line easement as it crosses the Magruder property, so that no blasting holes will be drilled to a depth that would be below the elevation of that grade.
