Environmental Guidelines for Noise with regards to Demolition via Blasting.

Here is a starting point:
For ground vibrations
Airborne environmental noise may be restricted by Federal, State, Local, or Project (via Environmental Impact Statement) sound criteria. Here are several searches:
Search: epa impulsive noise guidelines
Search: quarry blasting noise
Search: demolition blasting noise
I have rented a ground vibration monitors that includes a triaxial geophone sensor and microphone. It measured and recorded both vibrations and sound simultaneously. The time delay of the sound wave compared to the vibrations were evident. Generally the time of day for allowable blasting and peak sound pressure are covered by specific criteria for a job site.

. but you have narrowed my search to look at rather impulse nosie guidelines that specifically blasting noise. Here is a good overview with criteria for blasting sound and vibrations near hospital and residences:
