"Get your house and foundation and any other buildings checked for cracks etc BEFORE any quarry starts blasting".
Good advice. I used to live in Romeoville, IL about a decade and a half ago where one might've been able to dig an inch or two before hit shale. Basically only a house or three in town had an actual basement, because its nearly impossible to dig that deep. At best, everyone has a crawl space for ranch houses, or there are raised ranches, because you just can't dig deep enough to put in basements. They put in a couple of near bye quarries when I still lived there, and the damage to people's foundations from the blasting was incredible. First the cracks, and then the frozen water during winter months below surface that pushed the foundations apart. When I sold my home, I had huge gaps to close with hydraulic cement, and it was extremely hard to do because of the shale around the outside of the foundation that couldn't dig down to patch. Ended up doing what could do best from the outside, and trying to back fill from inside the crawl space.
Good luck. Get pictures and videos ahead of time, or you will get the shaft down the road. Most of us did.
