It is beyond me why this has taken so long. For some reason when government at any level jumps right into something without doing their home work and there is a bad outcome like this, they just want to talk it to death. The time to talk, evaluate, talk, evaluate, talk......is long past. Pay up and be done with it.Fast talkers have taken millions from the business council for urgent things like ski resorts while lawmakers talk and evaluate, but this drags on. Prioritize and get with the program guys! The time for discussion was BEFORE the damage was done.

The problem is there were no pre-inspections of the homes before the dynamic compaction began. As you know the houses built there are all on questionable ground and have been settling every since they were built.I do know that the compaction was done away from the houses and seismograph readings were constantly taken and they were barely registering any vibration near the homes.

It is ridiculous that this has not been addressed yet. I am no engineer, but living in Rock Springs as long as I have, I know this. Susidence causes damage to houses. If you cause subsidence on purpose, you can expect damage to occur.Come on, state leg. Let's get this taken care of already!
