Several members of the community commented at the Whitefish City Council meeting last week about a recent rockslide caused by the construction of a home on Whitefish Lake.
Construction crews using explosives to blast rock for the foundation of the home last month led to a rockslide of debris into Beaver Bay. Contractors on the project are Whitefish-based High Country Builders. According to the builders, the blasting was done by professionals hired by DLB Inc., of Libby.
Whitefish resident Beth Sobba has lived on Beaver Bay for over 20 years. According to Sobba, she and her neighbors have been enduring noise from the construction for two years.
