15A NCAC 05C .0109      SEISMIC AGENTS

Each seismic exploration crew working under a permit issued pursuant to this Subchapter shall always be accompanied by a seismic agent, unless a written exception has been granted by the Department. If a geophysical company employs more than one shooting component or more than one seismic vibration crew, and the operations are at such a distance apart that it is impossible for the seismic agent to travel from one to the other in time to observe the shots of each crew, a seismic agent shall be assigned to each geophysical crew. The seismic agent shall be physically present for each shot and each use of the seismic vibrator method.
