The University of Wyoming Department of Geology and Geophysics posted on Facebook Monday that the helicopter will be part of a geophysical study of the Casper Aquifer. The Department says that the copter will be in the I-80 and Telephone Canyon area particularly.

"The I-80 airborne geophysics project to study the Casper Aquifer around I80 and the southern municipal wellfields of Pope and Soldier Springs will start helicopter data acquisition this Wednesday. Residents will see a helicopter flying with a large hoop underneath it that is flying EW profiles along both sides of the Telephone Canyon portion of I-80. The study is being funded jointly by Albany County and the City of Laramie to provide more information about groundwater movement near I-80. This information will assist with any planning for future contaminant spill remediation resulting from an accident on the interstate."
