RE: Blasting Complaint
Bamboo Road Quarry
Permit No. 95-03
Watauga County
Dear Mr.
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
I Our office has completed its review of Radford quarries of Boone's blasting information,
including blast reports and seismograph recordings, related to the April 18 through August 4, 2008
blasts conducted at its Bamboo Road Quarry. It was found that Radford Quarries of Boone was not in
violation with the blasting requirements of its mining permit during the period in question.
All peak particle velocities, a measurement of ground vibration with units in inches per second
ops), -were -well below the maximum allowable limits specified in Radford Quarries of Boone's mining
permit. More specifically, all recorded values were at or below.07 ips at a distance cl—os—e-r-than t
closest offsite occupied structure (the location where compliance with the permit limits is determined).
According to extensive research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5
ips effectively eliminate the possibility of any structural damage.
No airblast readings were recorded by the seismograph which may be an indication that the
seismograph was not working properly.. All calculated airblast readings, a measurement of the
atmospheric pressure wave (overpressure) with units in psi or dBL, were well below the U. S. Bureau
of Mines' recognized level of 164 dBL for prevention of glass breakage. A key point worth noting is
that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of overpressure than structural damage, such as
cracking plaster.
We will monitor all blasting records and seismograph readings at this sit until further notice to
ensure the seismograph is functioning properly.

Dear Dr. Cecile:
The review has beian completed on the shot records you previously submitted for the Aprill 8
tl�rough August 4, 2008 blasts at the Bamboo Road Quarry. Your company has not been found to be
in violation with the blasting conditions outlined in Mining Permit No. 95-03. 1 have already notified the
complainant, Mr. Tom Turner, of our findings.
It appears that the seismograph may not have been working properly because of the low
readings for ground vibrations and no readings for the airblast for the above referenced blasts.
Therefore, please submit copies - of all blas - ting_ records and seismog-raph readings of all -future
blasts until further notice to ensure the seismograph is functioning properly.
Thank you for your continued cooperation. If you should have any questions on the above,
please contact me at [phone].

Judy, here is the last shot report. All seismograph points are under the OSM curve and thus
in compliance. We used Dyno Nobel for this shot.
Please let me know if you see any problems. Also, can we terminate this reporting
requirement since we have demonstrated compliance with all the submitted reports?

Dear Ms. Wehner:

I am enclosing a copy of the shot report for the blast on May 22, 2009 at the Bamboo
Quarry in Boone, NC. This report includes a seismograph reading from Radford's machine and
from Austin Powder's machine.
The seismograph reading from Radford's seismograph shows that the results fall within
the OSMRE range of allowed values. Also, the sound reading is 0.000431 psi, which can be
converted to decibels using the formula Pdb = 170.8 + 20 log (Pp,d. Using this formula, the
reading is 123.5 db. These numbers are consistent with those from Austin Powder's machine;
the slight difference resulted because the machines were not at the same distance from the shot
according to Steve Anders of Austin Powder.
Should you have any questions or concerns.
, please contact me via telephone or e-mail.
Thank you for your assistance.

Re: Mining Permit No. 95-03 1 LAN0 QUAL�ITY SECTION
Dear Ms. Welmer:
We blasted at Bamboo Quarry yesterday, and per your previous request, I am submitting
a copy of the blast report and a seismograph report. The blaster Steve Anders of Austin Powder
and I positioned the seismograph and programmed it to take readings. Both of us reviewed the
seismograph readings and found them to be in compliance with the conditions of the above -
captioned permit. Would you please contact me once you have reviewed this information?
. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via telephone (828) 264-
9828 or e-mail RadfordOuarrieskgmail.com. As always, thank you for your assistance.

report, which contains a seismograph reading. Please let me know if this
electronic copy is sufficient or if I need to submit a paper copy. Please
also let me know the result of your analysis. The reading should be
accurate as the seismograph was recently calibrated by the manufacturer.

RE: Blasting Complaint
Bamboo Road Quarry
Permit No. 95-03
Watauga County
Dear Dr. Cecile:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
The review has been completed on the shot records you previously submitted for the April 18
tl�rough August 4, 2008 blasts at the Bamboo Road Quarry. Your company has not been found to be
in violation with the blasting conditions outlined in Mining Permit No. 95-03. 1 have already notified the
complainant, Mr. Tom Turner, of our findings.
It appears that the seismograph may not have been working properly because of the low
readings for ground vibrations and no readings for the airblast for the above referenced blasts.
----T-herefore,-please-submit-cop es of all blasting records and seismograph readings of all future
blasts until further notice to ensure the seismograph is functioning properly.
Thank you for your continued cooperation. If you should have any questions on the above,
please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,

RE: Blasting Complaint
Bamboo Road Quarry
Permit No. 95-03
Watauga County
Dear Mr.
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Our office has completed its review of Radford quarries of Boone's blasting information,
including blast reports and seismograph recordings, related to the April 18 through August 4, 2008
blasts conducted at its Bamboo Road Quarry. It was found that Radford Quarries of Boone was not in
violation with the blasting requirements of its mining permit during the period in question.
All peak particle velocities, a measurement of ground vibration with units in inches per second
--(jps),-were-welI below the maximum allowable limits specified in Radford Quarries of Boone's mining
permit. More specifica y, all recorded values were at or below.07 ips at a distance c
closest offsite occupied structure (the location where compliance with the permit limits is determined).
According to extensive research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others, particle velocities below 0.5
ips effectively eliminate the possibility of any structural damage.
No airblast readings were recorded by the seismograph which may be an indication that the
seismograph was not working properly.. All calculated airblast readings, a measurement of the
atmospheric pressure wave (overpressure) with units in psi or dBL, were well below the U. S. Bureau
of Mines' recognized level of 164 dBL for prevention of glass breakage. A key point worth noting is
that glass breakage occurs at much lower levels of overpressure than structural damage, such as
cracking plaster.
We will monitor all blasting records and seismograph readings at this sit until further notice to
ensure the seismograph is functioning properly.

W Maximum pounds of explosives per delay (pounds): W* = 297 90
SID = Scaled Distance. SD = DNVAO.5 SD = 46 35
V = Peak Particle Velocity (inches per second): V = 160 (SD)A-1 .6 V 035
(*max limit in mining permit is- V = 1.0 ips)
Based on known distances from the blast to the seismograph and any additional location,
the expected vibration level can be estimated at the second location as follows,
V = Particle velocity measured by the seismograph (ips)- V* = 0.01
DS = Distance from blast to seismograph (ft): DS* = 500.00
d = Distance from blast to second location (ft): d* = 800.00
PPV = Theoretical peak particle velocity at the closest offsite occupied structure (ips)-
PPV = V(DS/d)Al .5 PPV= 0.0059
Airblast (Overpressure) Check:
P = Unconfined Airblast/Overpressure (psi) P = 82 (DNV,10.33)A- 1 2 P = 0.256944
To convert (psi) to (dBL) (P/29XJOA-g)logx2O P= 15895
AB = Confined Airblast/Overpressure (dBL). AB = P (dBL) - 35 dBL (for quarry situation) AB= 123.95
(*max. limit in mining permit is: AB = dBL)

Explosives Column Check:
(this is a very approximate method based upon numerous assumptions,
specific densities may vary greatly depending upon the type and manufacturer
of the explosive products used in the shot; must consider each explosive used;
refer to Dupont Handbook for actual SPD, otherwise use the following:)
Assumptions (per Ireco).
If "straight" emulsion is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1 20
If a "blend/slurry" is used, use SPD (specific density) = 1.25
If "straight" anfo is used, use SPD (specific density) = 0.85
Ratio between explosives -
Total pounds of Explos. #1 12540 00
Total pounds of Explos #2* = N/A
Ratio between explosives = N/A
Average pounds of explosives used per hole (pounds)* = 250.80
Breakdown of average pounds of explosives per hole due to ratio.
Explosive #1 = 12540.00
Explosive #2 = N/A
SPD = Specific densities for each explosive:
SPD for Explos. #1* = 1.22
SPD for Explos. #2* = N/A
HD Hole Diameter Used in Shot (inches) HD* 5.50
LD Loading Density (pounds per foot of column): LD = SPD(.34)(HD)A 2
LD for Explos #1 = 12 55
LD for Explos. #2 = N/A
Explosive column height for each explosive (feet):
Explos. #1 = 19.99
Explos #2 = N/A
Total explos. column height = 19 99
Stemming height used in shot (feet)* = 15.00
Total height of explosive column(s) and stemming in the hole = 34.99
Total depth of hole denoted on the blasting report for the shot in question* = 37-00

HAHA.... 500 feet.
Also my seismograph has been sent off for repair. I read in the permit that
I can do a calculation in the event that I do not have it. This is correct
right? Do you think I can handle the calculation?
When are you coming to visit?
did you ever talk to our friend in tn for me? A citizens group has filed
suit on me and it is no fun at all now.

Re: Blasting Complaint at Bamboo Quarry, Mining Permit No. 95-03
Dear Ms. Wehner:
I have compiled the information requested in your letter of July 21, 2008. Attached to
this letter, you will find duplicate copies of production shot records for the following dates:
April 18, June 27, July 21, and August 4 of the current year. I did not find any abnon-nalities in
reviewing these records. Further, I spoke to Mr. Virgil Freeman, owner of the nearest structure
to our site, and Mr. Freeman indicates that he did not feel any vibration on either of the above -
listed dates. He may be contacted at [phone] if necessary.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via telephone or e-mail.
As usual, thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
I IVA

After we blasted he was sitting long -ways across the scales to block them
off. My mom talked to him. Big D was in the pit. I was at my office.
OK as Big D says "take your time but,hurry." I'm hoping that if you request
another add info I can just come in person and get it finished up. Will you
accept maps from a theoretical physicist?

Also, as soon as we blast again I will submit my info. That guy was
really
hateful to my mom. I don't know him. But he lives 6/10 mile away -- I
checked it. The only thing I can gues is that he saw the traffic backed
up
where we had it blocked. If he had felt anything, the entire neighborhood
between us would have. I asked several people alld no one heard, saw, or
felt anything. The joys of a rock quarry .....
