FL S0056

Establishes the "Residential Blasting Safety and Transparency Act" creating residential protection zones within 2 miles of blast sites, with maximum ground vibration limits of 0.2-0.5 inches per second depending on frequency and air blast limits of 128 decibels

Requires independent seismograph monitoring at each blast site, with raw and summary data posted publicly within 48 hours and retained for 5 years

Mandates operators provide 72 hours advance notice of blasting windows to registered residents and restricts blasting to Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding holidays

Requires operators to fund pre-blast surveys upon request from property owners within the protection zone and provide independent post-blast surveys when damage claims are filed

Creates penalties including mandatory root cause analysis for limit violations, 30-day blasting suspension for more than 3 violations in 12 months, and third-degree felony charges for falsifying monitoring data

Extends the deadline to file damage claims from 180 days to 1 year, eliminates the $100 filing fee, and creates a rebuttable presumption that blasts exceeding limits caused claimed damage
