The Bureau of Land Management says Trego Hot Springs may pose a human health risk, after testing positive for disease-causing organisms.

These hot springs have been ground-zero to groundbreaking scientific research for the past two decades. Soon, a new monitoring system in the hot springs will help researchers have an even better understanding of how microorganisms adapt to this boiling water.

A seismologist says a series of more than 600 earthquakes during a 24-hour period in the Mammoth Lakes region may have been caused by water pressure from area hot springs.
