The blowout has been stopped but more repairs are needed-
On Sept. 1 this blog was the first to report on the big blowout on August 31. It was finally stopped in September and a Bozeman Daily Chronicle article says the excess flow is stopped for now. However, the cause is still not known. Repairs of an unknown magnitude will be made next year, or possibly the year after that, according to the article.
