Bomb found on Keechelus Dam (Washington)
Saturday, March 24, 2007
SNOQUALMIE PASS -- A small explosive device was found on Keechelus Dam late Thursday morning during a routine inspection by a Bureau of Reclamation employee.
Members of the U.S. Army's explosive ordinance detonated the device described as a cylinder shaped object about 2 to 3 inches tall and having a 1 1/2 inch diameter with a green fuse coming out of it, Kittitas County Sheriff Gene Dana reported.
Further inspection of the dam was conducted and no other devices were found, Dana said. Army personnel told authorities the item would not have damaged the dam; however, it could have injured a person had it been detonated near them. Dana said it is unknown why the explosive was on the dam and an investigation continues.
“It is not unusual to find old dynamite, blasting caps, homemade firecrackers or even old military devices that people have kept on their property or have carelessly discarded," Dana said. "If found, call law enforcement and do not disturb it. Citizens should also call in any suspicious people, vehicles and activity that seem out of place. Intelligence information is shared between agencies and may be an important piece to preventing or solving criminal activity in our county.”
