Mike,
I've reviewed the reports and will provide a letter stating that everything appears to be in compliance. However before
I do so, I'll need some additional information.
Blast 5 has Air overpressure reading of 132 dBL. Your permit specifies that you shall not exceed 129 decibels linear (dBL)
as measured at the immediate location of any regularly occupied building not owned or leased by the operator outside
of the permitted area such as a dwelling house, church, school, or public, commercial, or institutional building, unless an
alternate level based on the sensitivity of the seismograph microphone as specified below is being used:
Lower Frequency Limit of Measuring System (Hz)
Max Level (dBL)
0.1 Hz or lower -flat response
134 peak
2.0 Hz or lower -flat response
133 peak
6.0 Hz or lower -flat response
129 peak
The microphone specifications do not appear on the seismograph report. Will you have please have Deep Earth Logic
provide a statement/information on the microphone response? I need to verify that they are using a 2.0 Hz or lower —
flat response microphone to verify you are in compliance.
Thanks,
