| How Will The Implosion Affect The Nearby Homes And Other Structures Within The Complex? |

|
| The most obvious impact will be the fact that the area will be temporarily cleared within the safety perimeter during the implosion. We will ask residents and shop owners within that vicinity to close their windows, turn off air conditioning units and other air intakes, place plastic sheeting over louvers or vents in their buildings and take other general precautions to ensure that dust doesn’t enter their structures. Dust is the main byproduct of all types of demolition, which affects adjacent properties. Noise and vibration levels will be generally below those as limited by law (laws vary by state) and would be well below levels that would cause any type of damage, even to older and possibly poorly maintained structures. |

Larry Peterson says... "The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources experienced an extremely rapid failure of a 100-year-old railroad bridge. When I was called in to assist with the emergency (the bridge) was moving at a rate of approximately two to three inches per day. The consensus of a group of bridge engineers was that the bridge was failing too rapidly to attempt any kind of stabilization (and that) the bridge would collapse within a matter of days. I contacted three firms. Eric Kelly agreed to complete (the job) within two days. Their quick emergency response was greatly appreciated. They quickly took charge of the project and applied their considerable expertise in demolition of steel structures. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would like to thank Eric Kelly for his quick response and exemplary work in an emergency situation."
