Welcome to the Potomac Chapter ISEE Website
The Potomac Chapter ISEE, Inc was chartered in 1977. Our goal is to provide a forum to our membership where we can provide and exchange information about the drilling and blasting industry while keeping up to date with all State and Federal regulations. The primary States involved with our membership are MD, PA, VA and WV. If you are a current Chapter member and have either a photo or video related to our industry that you would like to share with our Chapter membership, please give them to any Board member. Everything associated with this Potomac Chapter ISEE website is linked to Pay Pal for your specific needs. Please do your best to support and promote our Website Sponsors located on the rotating banner below. If you have any suggestions on website additions or improvements, please contact a Board member.
