I'm working with a municipality toward implementing some restrictions on blasting bedrock. The town wants to define a reasonable radius for pre-blast surveys. I found a couple references to the Scaled Distance Formula, but have seen it used and defined in many different ways. One community in Maine adopted a radius formula as follows: D(radius)=200 x W^1/2, where W equals the maximum weight of explosives in pounds.
Does anyone have any input on this approach?
