All mining activities are subject to the EIA Regulation. There are permits and licenses to be taken for mining. From these permits, in order to prevent the negative effects of mining activities or to minimize the environmental impact, studies should be done in order to minimize environmental impacts. One of the most sensitive to environmental problems in mining operations is blasting. Because blasting, vibration, air shock, dust formation, factors such as the necessary measures can be negatively affect the environment. In order to understand these effects and to prevent or minimize these effects, explosive-rock interactions, explosion-induced seismic wave and air shock propagation mechanisms, seismic wave transmission characteristics of the environment should be understood and blasting designs should be considered by taking these factors into consideration. However, trial blasting cannot be carried out, since blasting is not allowed without receiving necessary permits. In this case, comments are made by using the very general formulas included in the explosion guideline of the 2015 EIA regulation. Nowadays, when blasting in the city is to be carried out or when blasting is carried out close to important projects such as high-speed trains, making predictions of damages with these general formulas may cause problems in the future. In this paper, an approach beyond the generalized formulas in estimating the vibration effects using the seismic quality factor and surface wave velocity parameters for the areas to be blasted is mentioned and an application is given.
