General. The department must recognize two permissible
				  methods concerning hand charges for avalanche control blasting. The
				  descriptions and requirements for each method are contained in this
				  section.
Note:
A well-designed and constructed hand charge makeup
								room can enhance the correct assembly of explosive components and reduce the
								incidences of misfires from incorrect makeup or moisture.
(1)  Method I.
				Makeup at the blast site.
(a)  The ignition
				system must consist of a nonelectrical blasting cap and highest quality water
				resistant safety fuse, or detonating cord, assembled as recommended by the
				manufacturer.
(b)  Detonating cord
				must be used to connect separated multiple-charge blasts.
(c)  No other ignition system must be
				permissible on hand-placed or hand-thrown avalanche control charges unless
				variance is granted by the department.
(d)
				 Caps must be installed on correct length fuses prior to being
				transported out onto control routes.
(e)
				 Caps must only be crimped with a crimper tool approved for that
				purpose.
(f)  Assembling caps and
				fuses must be done in a warm, dry, well-lighted environment. The location used
				for assembly must not have flammable fuels, flammable gases, or explosives
				present where accidental detonation of the caps could create a secondary
				ignition or detonation hazard.
