Patrons at the Uptown shopping center were treated to several hours of deafening noise today, November 14, as Boart Longyear Drilling Services drilled 147 feet below the surface of the parking lot.
Workers on the site stated the plan was to continue drilling until the subsurface freshwater aquafier was reached.
Soil samples were being obtained as the drilling progressed and are being used to check for pollution, chemicals, and to determine volume and direction of underground water flow.
Several of the crew said they did not know how much longer the drilling would go on.
