Journal Gazette | 08/31/2006 | No bomb tests at Indiana quarry:

"A southern Indiana limestone quarry will not be used by the U.S. military as the testing site for a powerful new bomb intended to penetrate solid rock formations, a congressman and the site’s owner said.

Rogers Group’s Mitchell Quarry, 30 miles south of Bloomington, had been mentioned as a possible site for a test, named “Divine Strake,” that would involve detonating 700 tons of explosives.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has declined to say whether the site was under consideration for the test, but Greg Gould, a vice president of Nashville, Tenn.-based Rogers Group, said no immense military bomb blasts would take place there."
