Glendale Municipal Code Art. II Excavation Blasting

No person shall do any excavation blasting without a permit therefor from the fire chief. The application for such a permit shall be on forms prescribed by the fire chief. Before the issuance of such a permit the fire chief shall require the receipt of a written report from the city engineer or building official. Any conditions contained in the city engineer's or building official's report shall become conditions of the permit.

(Prior code § 23-24; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)

The fire chief of the Glendale fire division is designated as the issuing authority for the city in accordance with, and for the purposes designated in, Section 12007 of the Health and Safety Code of the state of California.

(Prior code § 23-24.1; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)

The application shall be accompanied by a fee of $25. Before the issuance of any permit the applicant shall pay in addition thereto a fee of $30 for each day during which excavation blasting operations are proposed. If in the opinion of the fire chief the presence of an inspector at the blasting site is necessary or advisable, a charge for such inspector's presence shall also be made at the regular hourly pay rate for inspectors as established by the current salary ordinance of the city, and such charge shall be paid in advance by the applicant.

(Prior code § 23-25; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)

Insofar as applicable, the provisions of this chapter relating to conditions in permits, procedure and the like matters shall govern excavation blasting permits, but the fire chief shall continue to enforce all applicable laws on blasting under the fire chief's jurisdiction that are not in conflict with this chapter, and the fire chief may make and keep on file in the fire chief's office any rules which have been approved by the city engineer or building official establishing conditions for excavation blasting permits.

(Prior code § 23-26; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)

Any person aggrieved by the action of the fire chief in denying or revoking a permit required by this chapter for failure to meet or to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any provision of the Glendale Building and Safety Code may appeal to the council within the time and in the manner provided in Chapter 2.88 of this code.
