Feds plan underground explosion near Old Teton Dam
Local News 8 has learned the Defense Threat Regulatory Agency plans to set off an explosion underground just north of the Old Teton Dam site next week as part of a seismic experiment.
According to a document Local News 8 obtained, this experiment is part of a larger government project to get information on how shock waves travel through different kinds of rocks.
The explosion will take place 80 to 165 feet below ground Thursday morning.
The DTRA has not returned our phone call.
