ABSTRACT

The quarry operator has to monitor all blasts during

the whole operational time for the quarry in order to

comply with legislation and regulations regarding

the environmental conditions set down in Sweden

for quarries. In the particular case of the quarry in

Jordbro, it is planned to be operational for 10 years.

During this time the quarry owner has the responsibil-

ity to conduct vibration measurements and to produce

yearly reports to the authority, in this case the county

of Stockholm that demonstrates appropriate supervi-

sion of the quarries.
