Louisiana oil and gas chief resigns Sinkhole situation: DNR searching for answers 09 August 2012 19:43 GMT Scott Angelle, who headed the agency that regulates oil and gas in Louisiana, says he has left his job to run for office as the department struggles to understand and mitigate a giant sinkhole threatening to wreak havoc on oil infrastructure in south Louisiana. In a statement Thursday morning, Governor Bobby Jindal announced that coastal management assistant secretary Stephen Chustz would be serving as interim director of the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources following Angelle's resignation. - Angelle's departure also comes amid a worsening situation in Assumption Parish as the sinkhole swallowed whole trees and grew to 392 feet wide and 422 feet deep, with the slurry topped by floating diesel. Panicked residents were evacuated as the state ordered Texas Brine, an area cavern operator, to investigate the integrity of a brine cavern it operated in the salt dome. "We’re proceeding to determine the cause of the sinkhole and determine whether or not it is related to the inactive brine cavern that is in close proximity," said Sonny Cranch, a spokesman for Texas Brine - full- [link to www.upstreamonline.com] |

The resulting explosions will be producing earthquakes high up the scale, and in areas not known for quakes, as they won't just be near or on, faults. Keep that in mind. |

Saltville LLC president Mark J. Cartwright informed DNR in a January 21, 2011 letter about a failed integrity test of the cavern and company officials’ suspicion that the cavern possibly breached Napoleonville Dome’s outer wall, possibly explaining a loss of pressure in the cavern during the test. “One obvious concern is the cavern’s proximity to the edge of salt,” Cartwright wrote to DNR’s Joseph “Joe” S. Ball Jr., director of DNR Injection and Mining Division that oversees salt caverns. “There have been several studies in this regard, and Texas Brine has mapped the salt boundary near the cavern applying available well log data, seismic data, and most recently, vertical seismic data gathered during the workover. At this time, a breach out of the salt dome appears possible.” - [link to www.examiner.com] |

"Since June, the community centered within the latest south Louisiana oil and gas disaster, Bayou Corne has been having earthquakes caused by a powerful but unknown underground source. "They're very possibly related. One of the ways they might be related is that the earthquakes are the things that happen first and the gas may bubble out just because of all the shaking, but we don't know that and it could be something else as well," said Stephen Horton, a University of Memphis researcher. U.S. Geological Survey seismological recordings from a station near the northern Assumption Parish community of Bayou Corne show a series of earthquakes occurred on June 8 and July 3, Horton told locals, as reported by the Advocate. The USGS station was then picking up quakes as far away as White Castle, about five miles from Bayou Corne." Looks like USGS has been keeping these quakes off the maps and away from the public. |

Perhaps that is what they are gearing up for? Martial law? Imagine an 8.0+ EQ right through the middle of the USA cutting it in 1/2. Thousands dead, millions displaced.....oh yeah this reads like a good D00m book. Been following all this for two years since a Navy friend begged me not to move to Memphis...AND sent me that map. He also told me that the BP gig wasn't an accident. The BP fiasco was a failed attempt to correct a huge and dangerous growing situation as we are seeing the beginning of an event so severe. The BP incident was to "relieve" pressure from the huge underground volcano and caverns filled with natural and methane gases. While these are natural caverns filled with enough energy to sustain our country for eons, it also is connected to one of the biggest and most dangerous fault lines in the world. Knowing this and our govt still drilled, fracked, blew up, mined and God knows what else to extract.

User ID: 19230243 United States 08/09/2012 05:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Radiation too.. 9:15 a.m. Morning Update August 9, 2012 Based on recent revelations that NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) was injected into the cavern, the parish has requested DEQ to immediately begin monitoring the atmosphere and sinkhole for NORM. The OEP has also requested that previously pulled samples be tested for NORM as well. Additionally, if you observe any abnormal activity such as bubbling, sinking, holes, etc… you can report this to OEP on the form that is linked below or by visiting the command post in Bayou Corne and filling a form out. The OEP will be forwarding all abnormal activity to DNR & DEQ immediately. [link to assumptionla.wordpress.com] ---------- DNR records show that on Aug. 31, 1995, the agency authorized Texas Brine to dispose of 20 cubic feet of naturally occurring radioactive material by pumping it into the cavern and another Texas Brine salt cavern in Lafourche Parish. A Texas Brine letter dated Aug. 25, 1995, requesting the disposal says the radioactive “scale” had accumulated in soils around the two cavern wells.
