Nearby operations

Tooele Army Depot

The Tooele Army Depot (TEAD) is a U.S. Army installation that supports the nation’s defense mission through the storage, maintenance, inspection, renovation, and demilitarization of conventional munitions. As part of its routine operations, the depot periodically conducts training exercises, range activities, and the safe disposal of obsolete or unserviceable munitions.

These operations may produce loud noises, ground vibrations, or visible smoke that can be heard or seen in surrounding communities, including portions of Eagle Mountain, depending on weather and atmospheric conditions. Eagle Mountain City shares blasting and range activity notices provided by the Tooele Army Depot to help keep residents informed about planned operations and what they may experience.

Camp Williams

Camp Williams is a Utah National Guard training installation that provides year-round military training for National Guard, active-duty, reserve, and other authorized military personnel. Training activities may include live-fire artillery exercises, weapons qualifications, aviation operations, and tactical maneuvers that help prepare service members for domestic and overseas missions.

During these scheduled exercises, residents in Eagle Mountain and nearby communities may hear loud explosions, gunfire, or helicopters, or experience minor ground vibrations depending on weather, terrain, and atmospheric conditions. These activities are a normal part of military training and are conducted within established safety protocols. When Camp Williams provides advance notice of significant training events, Eagle Mountain City posts those notifications to help residents understand the source of the activity and when it is expected to occur.

Lehi Quarry

The Lehi Quarry is an active aggregate mining operation that supplies rock, sand, and gravel used in the construction of roads, homes, commercial buildings, and other infrastructure throughout northern Utah. As part of the mining process, controlled blasting is periodically used to safely fracture rock before it is excavated and processed into construction materials.

While these blasts are brief, they may be heard or felt in Eagle Mountain and surrounding areas, with the level of impact varying based on weather and other environmental conditions. To help residents distinguish these planned operations from emergency events or other unexpected activity, Eagle Mountain City publishes blasting schedules whenever they are provided by the quarry operator.

Other Nearby Operations

In addition to blasting and detonation notices from the Tooele Army Depot, Camp Williams, and Lehi Quarry, Eagle Mountain City may also share notices about other nearby operations that could result in noticeable noise or vibrations. This may include activities at facilities such as TM Crushing’s Talon’s Cove Pit (9502 N. Mt. Airey Drive).

These notices are intended to keep residents informed about scheduled activities and provide additional context when temporary noise or other impacts may occur in the area.
