Final Technical Guidance—Substantive Revision
DEP ID: 562-2112-503. Title: Blasting Near Utility Lines on Mining and Construction Sites and Bituminous Coal Mining Within the Right-of-Way or Easement of Utility Lines. Description: This guidance is being revised to provide better protection to underground or overhead utility lines from the effects of blasting. These revisions result in guidance that more clearly follows the regulatory language in limiting blasting's effect on utility lines than the guidance it replaces and includes guidance on the regulation of blasting near underground utility lines in anthracite coal mining, noncoal mining and on construction sites. Contact: Questions regarding this technical guidance document should be directed to Richard Lamkie at rlamkie@pa.gov or (717) 783-9892.
