						  these rules and regulations.
(a) Any
						ammonium nitrate stored at a closer distance to the blasting agent storage
						areas than as provided in (b) below shall be added to the quantity of blasting
						agents to calculate the total quantity involved for application of the
						aforementioned Table of Distances.
(b) Minimum intra-plant separation distances

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The design of the mixer should minimize the possibility
						  of frictional heating, compaction, and especially, confinement. Open mixers are
						  preferable to enclosed mixers. Bearings and gears should be protected against
						  the accumulation of ammonium nitrate dust. All surfaces should be accessible
						  for cleaning. Mixing and packaging equipment should be constructed of materials
						  compatible with the fuel-ammonium nitrate composition.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The provisions of this Article shall be considered when
						  determining blasting agent compositions. THE SENSITIVITY OF THE BLASTING AGENT
						  SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MEANS OF A NO. 8 TEST BLASTING CAP AT REGULAR INTERVALS
						  AND AFTER EVERY CHANGE IN FORMULATION, OR AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY THE "CHIEF"
						  HAVING JURISDICTION.
(a) Oxidizers of
						small particle size, such as crushed prills or fines, may be more sensitive and
						hazardous than the ordinary prills and should be handled with greater
						care.
(b) No liquid fuel with flash
						point lower than that of No. 2 Diesel fuel oil (110F. minimum or equal) shall
						be used.
(c) Crude oil and
						crankcase oil shall not be used because they may contain light ends that offer
						increased vapor-explosion hazards or gritty particles that tend to sensitize
						the resulting blasting agent.
(d)
						If solid fuels are used, they shall be chosen so as to minimize dust-explosion
						hazard.
(e) Metal dusts (aluminum
						powder, etc.), peroxides, chlorates, or perchlorates shall not be used unless
						such operations are conducted in a manner approved by the "Chief" having
						jurisdiction.
(f) Unusual
						compositions shall not be attempted except under the supervision of competent
						personnel equipped to determine the overall hazard of the resulting
						compositions.

Washdown facilities shall be provided. An automatic
						  water-deluge system with adequate capacity is required to protect mixers and
						  the finished-explosive storage area in the plant. Floors shall be constructed
						  so as to eliminate open floor drains into which molten materials could flow and
						  be confined in case of fire. The floors and equipment of the mixing and
						  packaging room shall be washed down frequently to prevent accumulation of
						  oxidizers or fuels and other sensitizers. The entire mixing and packaging plant
						  shall be washed down periodically to prevent excessive accumulation of
						  dust.200.26Z-21
