Patassa User ID: 21916852 United States 09/19/2012 12:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “We are concerned with the lack of transparency from our public officials on this emergency situation,” John Achee, Jr., a Bayou Corne community advocate, said. “There is no citizen representation on the incident command team or community liaison to help communicate real-time with both existing and displaced residents. Additionally, we have learned that an esteemed and well-regarded Louisiana scientist has been blocked access to the team meetings.” Quoting: Paa Tal [link to www.nbc33tv.com] Does anyone know who the blocked scientist might be? Hi Paa Tal I believe he might be talking about Dr Wilma Subra. Thanks! You're welcome, and thank you..... :-) |

"Assumption Parish Officials are calling the media, officals, agencies and Texas Brine in an attempt to discourage them all from attending the the Town Hall Meeting [that] you have pleaded with them to attend and provide you an inperson update on this most dangerous, dynamic, fluid situation," Achee advised sinkhole vicinity residents Wednesday.

Quoting: Paa Tal We’ve received notification just minutes ago that the bit on the snubbing rig has to be changed. This will push back drilling operations 12-15 hours. [link to assumptionla.wordpress.com] Look at the trees around the drill site in the video. They're all turning white and dying. I don't think the drill site is 'that' close to the original sinkhole. If we've got the same kind of tree damage at some distance from the sinkhole, whatever's FUBARed under there is HUGE and OMG, something bad's getting ready to happen. Reminds me of what happened when they accidentally drilled into the salt dome under Lake Peigneur. OMG!! |

pink cat User ID: 24345570 United States 09/25/2012 10:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | september 25th: [link to assumptionla.wordpress.com] Assumption Parish officials have been advised by DNR that their exploratory well observers have confirmed that brine cavern #3 has failed. Per Texas Brine’s press release, “The tool used to measure cavern depth bottomed out at approximately 4,000 feet – a point estimated to be 1,300 feet higher than the floor had been measured prior to the cavern closure in 2011. This preliminary finding indicates that some type of dense material has fallen to the bottom of the cavern. A sample of the material has been retrieved from the cavern floor and will be analyzed. The retrieved material does not appear to be consistent with material normally found in brine cavern operations. We expect that the sonar inspection that is currently being conducted will provide a more detailed image of the cavern’s interior conditions and the possible source of the material at its base.” This statement confirms the suspicions of parish officials: Texas Brine Oxy Cavern #3 had failed. It has come to our attention that Texas Brine’s press release was released to the media at 10:31 p.m. last night, prior to consulting with parish and state officials. Parish officials are not in agreement with Texas Brine’s preliminary conclusion that their well was damaged by “regional-scale seismic activity” (earthquakes). Given the confirmation of the failure of Texas Brine’s cavern, the parish will continue to look to Texas Brine for accountability and evacuee assistance. The mandatory evacuation order will remain in place. Parish and state officials are working together to host and coordinate a public meeting to provide additional and updated information in the near future. The time and date of this meeting will be circulated via blog posts, press release, and phone calls to residents. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness at 985-369-7386 or stop by the command post. 🦋 |
