KINGSPORT — An investigation into an explosion last January at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HAAP) is "very close" to completion, BAE Systems spokesman Chris Finley said at the end of a public meeting on Thursday night. The meeting was to share information about what BAE and the U.S. Army are doing to end open burning at the facility, which produces explosives.
