North Caldwell council approves new blasting ordinance after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing, the North Caldwell Mayor and Council unanimously adopted Ordinance O-1-2026 to add Chapter 109 "Blasting" to the borough code; the ordinance requires advance notice to nearby property owners and follows state blasting insurance requirements.
The North Caldwell Mayor and Council unanimously approved Ordinance O-1-2026 on June 23, 2026, formally adding Chapter 109 "Blasting" to the borough code.
At the public hearing, resident Jeff Ivler said he "was unable to find the ordinance on the Borough website" and asked that blasting notices be posted online and along adjacent roadways. Borough Counsel Jarrid Kantor summarized the draft, noting that notice is required to property owners within 500 feet of the blasting area and that liability insurance provisions are governed by applicable state blasting regulations. The council voted 4-0 to adopt the ordinance.
