How far could the detonations be felt?
Most detonations could be felt only within a few hundred feet of the borehole. The larger detonations could be felt for a few 1000 feet. We made an effort to keep the boreholes well away from houses in order not to disturb people at night. Unfortunately, a few people may have felt the detonations. Prior to the project we communicated the purposes and effects of our activities with the public by way of city council meetings, radio, newspaper, and TV. Back to the top.
