Lake Superior Chapter of the ISEE

Since 1991, the Lake Superior Chapter has been providing services to the blasting and mining community in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Membership has swelled to over 100 dues-paying members. The core of the participant come from the mines and explosives manufacturers of northeastern Minnesota. However, the membership has included a wide variety of individuals from diverse geographical and professional backgrounds. The purpose of the Chapter is to promote good practices by providing a forum for discussion on enhanced safety and productivity in the use of explosives. A quarterly newsletter, an annual training session, a spring field trip, a summer picnic and quarterly membership meetings are the principle activities of the group. The Chapter provides scholarships to college students interested in the field. In the past ten years, over $60,000 has been given to students enrolled in related studies.
