Horsham Blasting May Cause Ground Vibrations This Afternoon

HORSHAM, PA — Area residents need not be alarmed of any potential loud 'booms' or 'cracks' in the township mid-afternoon today.

Township officials are warning those who live and work in the area of Davis Grove Road and Horsham Road that controlled blasting operations at the site of the old Limekiln Pike Golf Course may have the potential to cause loud noises or even some minor ground vibrations between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. today.

A blasting company will be working in the area to break apart large areas of bedrock at the old golf course, the township stated. It says this type of blasting operation is typically needed when there is a large area of underground bedrock that requires removal.

An age-restricted community is planned for the site of the old golf course, which was sold to developers Toll Brothers back in 2019, according to past news reports.

Blasting is happening this afternoon, Thursday, July 22, at the old Limekiln Pike Golf Course. Don't be alarmed if you hear some loud “Booms” or “Cracks” and feel some very minor ground vibrations in the area of Davis Grove Road & Horsham Road between the hours of 12pm and 3pm! pic.twitter.com/EH039M3Z7L
