Sec. 12-69. - Notifications.
(a) Any person detonating explosives shall first notify the director that a blast is planned. Such notification shall be received at least four hours prior to the planned detonation and shall give the time (within 30 minutes), location where the blasting is to be done, the amount of explosives to be used, and the name and business address of the person responsible for the blasting operation. (b) A 24-hour notification is required for blasting operations to be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays and for those blasting operations performed after 5:00 p.m. local time on weekdays. This additional notification period is needed to allow sufficient time to coordinate monitoring of the blast at times which are not considered by personnel of the division to be normal work hours. The notification may be given orally over the telephone; however, the burden of proof as to whether the notification was in fact received rests with the person responsible for the blasting operation.
