The Black Hills Chapter
of The International Society of Explosives Engineers
President
Charlie A. Brumbaugh
The purpose of the Black Hills Chapter of ISEE is to bring blasters, drillers, and anyone interested in explosives together for the exchange of information and the enhancement of our profession. Our Chapter is made up of a cross section of the industry which includes drillers, blasters, miners, academics, consultants, powder company representatives, law enforcement, fire protection, military personnel, and students. The membership is generally located in the State of South Dakota, Nebraska, or North Dakota.
In addition, the Black Hills Chapter, in conjunction with the Northern Plains Chapter of ISEE, promotes education through scholarship programs which award over $5000 yearly to worthy students in Mining Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geology or related fields. These scholarships are awarded to students who live in South Dakota, North Dakota, or Wyoming.
Meetings are held quarterly in various locations in the Black Hills. In addition a major drilling and blasting conference commonly called the "Best in the West" is held each year in the Spring.
