			 only under the supervision of a certified blaster. Only a certified blaster, or
			 a member of the blasting crew under the direct supervision of the certified
			 blaster, may detonate a blast. Any certified blaster who is responsible for
			 conducting blasting operations at a blasting site shall give direction and
			 on-the-job training to persons who are not certified and who are assigned to
			 the blasting crew or assist in the use of explosives at that site.
(5) Certified blasters, and other persons
			 responsible for blasting operations at a blasting site, shall review and know
			 the permittee's blasting plan and sitespecific blasting requirements. The
			 permittee shall keep a copy of the current blasting plan and permit map at the

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 1501:14 - Division of Mineral Resources Management - Industrial Mineral › Chapter 1501:14-6 - Lime Mining Wastes › Section 1501:14-6-01 - Permit application requirements for the beneficial use of lime mining wastes (LMW) within an industrial minerals permit

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) General requirements.
(1) This rule 
									applies
			 only to industrial mineral mining operations where calcined lime mining wastes
			 (LMW) will be incorporated in final reclamation as a beneficial use and are in
			 addition to requirements of sections
			 1514.02 and
			 1514.021 of the Revised
			 Code.
(2) An application for a
			 surface mining permit which will utilize LMW is  deemed complete when it is
			 received by the chief, unless the application fails to contain all substantial
			 information required by Chapter 1514. of the Revised Code and the rules adopted
			 pursuant thereto.
(3) Each
			 application 
									is to describe and identify the lands subject to
			 industrial mineral mining, the estimated life of those operations, and the
			 size, sequence, and timing of the mining and reclamation
									and also
			 contain the total acreage in which LMW will be utilized and a narrative with
			 scientific support of that beneficial use.
(4) This rule does not authorize the use of
			 LMW to create a new structure that rises above the approximate original
			 elevation of the existing permit or amended area. New LMW placements
			 are to
			 be within a quarry excavation, unless approved as a soil amendment. The chief
			 may grant a variance to this provision for new lime facilities for discreet and
			 temporary beneficial applications such as visual barriers, berms or other uses.
			 Temporary beneficial applications will be for no more than five years
			 unless extended by the chief based upon a demonstration by the permittee that
			 more time is justified. When the chief terminates the temporary designation,
			 the temporary storage sites 
									are to be removed and used for the approved
			 permanent beneficial use within one year. A longer time may be approved by the
			 chief based upon a demonstration by the permittee. The affected acreage
			 is to be
			 permitted and bonded.
(5) New
			 beneficial uses of LMW that began after October 8, 2001 will be characterized as a significant permit or
			 a significant amendment to a permit and shall follow the requirements of this
			 rule.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) LMW
			 is not
			 to be applied as a soil additive within one
			 hundred feet of an intermittent or perennial stream or wetland. This distance
			 may be increased for an exceptionally high value stream or wetland.
(B) LMW is not
			 to be placed within five hundred feet upstream of
			 an existing legitimately used surface source intake or within three hundred
			 feet of an existing legitimately used water well supply or within three hundred
			 feet of an existing developed groundwater spring. For a pre-existing LMW site
			 which is closer than these distances on October 8, 2001, the permittee is to
			 provide a demonstration that the lesser distance will not have an adverse
			 impact upon human health or the environment.
(C) LMW is not to be placed within three
			 hundred feet of an occupied dwelling unless the owner provides a written
			 waiver, except for pre-existing LMW sites which are closer to dwellings than
			 three hundred feet on October 8, 2001, are exempt from this
			 requirement.
(D) The distance
			 limitations in paragraphs (A) to (C) of this rule apply to all placement of
			 lime mining wastes, unless otherwise approved by the chief.
