  And here’s the issue with blasting. During the meeting with Dickerson Florida, they said they would not blast ("if not necessary")! If they are mining for mud, clay or sand, definitely they do not have to blast! Florida Rock thought they would not have to blast in their mining pit. Later on, after reaching the rock, do they found out that they have to blast the place to break the rocks!

  So only time will tell if they will really keep their "word of honor". Does that word still exist?
