The National Underground Laboratory Committee, composed of a number of American physicists, on Monday recommended a mine in the Black Hills be the home to a new $160 million, 8,000-foot deep National Underground Laboratory.

The site received top nods because it would probably be easy to convert the mine into a lab. The lab would conduct a variety of physics experiments and would be funded by The National Science Foundation.
