Committee advances blasting ordinance; debate centers on noise standard
Summary
The committee moved a blasting-and-safety ordinance forward while members debated whether enforcement should use a decibel-meter standard or a 'plainly audible' standard tied to the county's existing noise ordinance.
Committee members discussed a proposed ordinance to regulate blasting operations and promote public safety and environmental protection. The item is linked to ongoing work on the county's noise ordinance; the blasting ordinance cites the noise-ordinance article and would defer technical enforcement standards to that article, which means the county could adopt either a decibel-meter standard or a 'plainly audible' enforcement approach. The committee voted to advance the ordinance with language that references the noise article so that enforcement details can be finalized when the noise ordinance is completed.
