No permit shall be issued unless the applicant submits with the application a certificate of insurance issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of New York and in a form acceptable to the Police Chief, certifying that the applicant has in full force and effect a policy of public liability insurance, including a specific endorsement covering all liabilities that might arise from blasting and specifying coverage in accordance with current village requirements, as determined, from time to time, by the Village Board. Such certificate shall also disclose that the policy shall incorporate provisions as follows:
That the village shall be named as an additional insured on each policy issued.
That it shall not be canceled, terminated or modified unless 10 days' prior written notice is given to the Police Chief by registered mail addressed to him.
That the presence of an inspector or engineer on behalf of the village at the site of the blasting operation shall not affect the obligation of the insurer under the policy.
It shall be unlawful to carry on any blasting operation between sunset and sunrise, and in no event after 7:00 p.m. or before 8:00 a.m., local time, nor shall any blasting be done on Sunday, except with the approval of the Police Chief.
