A.
The Fire Chief shall have the responsibility of coordinating all
activities relative to complaints received concerning blasting operations
within the Town of Hudson.
A.
Complaints of an informational nature or reporting a nuisance factor
relating to blasting operations shall be handled by the Fire Chief.
The Chief shall contact, in a timely manner, the complainant and attempt
to resolve the complaint. In the event that the complainant is not
satisfied after contact by the Chief, the Chief shall require the
blaster or the blasting company to contact the complainant directly.

have been received in reference to a specific blasting operation,
the Chief may direct such actions as may reduce the possible nuisance
factor. Such actions may include but not be limited to reductions
in the amounts of explosive materials used, change in the time of
the blast initiation and monitoring of blasts by noise level or earth
vibration equipment to determine the extent of or existence of the
nuisance factor.
A.
Complaints received by the Fire Department which allege damage to
property as a result of blasting operations shall be coordinated promptly
by the Fire Chief.

The complainant shall be contacted directly by the Fire Chief to
ascertain pertinent information relative to the alleged damage.

The complainant shall also receive written instructions outlining
the procedures to follow in order to seek compensation for possible

be authorized to document and/or photograph such evidence as he deems
necessary.
E.
If, in the determination of the Fire Chief, the blaster, the blasting
company or their insurance representatives are not dealing with the
complainant in a satisfactory manner, the Chief may exercise any option
provided by the Code, including ordering suspension of blasting operations
until such time as a satisfactory resolution is attained.
