No person shall use in a blasting operation a quantity of explosives
greater than necessary properly to start the rock or other substances, nor
use such an amount as will endanger persons or property. The Town Board may
limit the maximum quantity of explosives to be used, but no action by the
Town Board or its duly authorized representative shall relieve or exempt any
person or insurance company from liability for damage caused by the use of
such explosives.
No person shall conduct blasting operations within the Town of Warwick
after 5:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. nor at any time on Sunday except under
the authority of a special permit issued by the Town Board.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to conflict with
§§ 450 through 465 of the Labor Law of the State of New York.
The Town Board or its duly authorized representative is hereby authorized
and empowered to establish and promulgate rules and regulations concerning
blasting operations in the Town, storage of explosives and other matters contained
in this chapter, not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. Such
rules and regulations, when established and promulgated, shall be binding
upon all persons to whom a permit is issued pursuant to this chapter.
