Results of this testing will be forwarded to the Franklin Board of Health.
No exterior abrasive blasting and/or abrasive sanding will be permitted
on windy or stormy days. The determination as to whether or not a particular
day is windy or stormy to a degree warranting a prohibition as to abrasive
blasting and/or abrasive sanding shall be made at the sole discretion of the
agent of the Franklin Board of Health.
Surfaces to be abrasive blasted and/or abrasive sanded shall have in
place a protective shroud, shield or barrier properly enclosing the working
area.
Interior abrasive blasting accomplished by a pneumatically propelled
abrasive material into the open air shall be performed only in an unoccupied

sheeting or other suitable material approved by the Franklin Board of Health.
A protective shroud, shield or barrier shall consist of tarpaulin, plastic
sheeting or other suitable material approved by the Franklin Board of Health.
Daily site cleanup will be with industrial vacuum cleaners.
Recycling of abrasive material shall be prohibited, and disposal shall
be in accordance with 310 CMR 19.000.
As a violation of the requirements set forth in this chapter would or
could pose a danger to the public health, a permit may be suspended forthwith
by an agent of the Franklin Board of Health upon his determining the fact
of a violation. The licensee shall then be given the opportunity to show cause
why such permit should not be revoked.
[Amended 12-9-1987 by Bylaw Amendment 87-116]
