Thread: Sinkhole: Officials concerned gas has entered Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer

They are digging another well in the area soon to check the water aquifer.

"New water well part of effort to determine extent of potential natural gas presence in Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer"

wow, poisoned water supply. There's more to this then just one sinkhole.

Here is a new bubble map with pics that you can click on!

In the "Ghost of Isaac," while Assumption Parish officials say the storm had no impact on the sinkhole, they have released on Friday an interactive map of all the bubbling sites near and miles from the giant sinkhole but say the size of hole is still under wraps after the tropical storm force winds and rains heavy hit the area enough to force a mandatory evacuation of all residents in the parish.

"We have received several inquiries about updated measurements of the sinkhole; however, until access is granted back into the sinkhole, accurate measurements will not be available," Assumption Parish officials stated Friday in a blog post.

Despite Isaac's tropical storm force winds and rains heavy enough to force a mandatory evacuation of all residents in Assumption Parish, officials say Hurricane Isaac had no impact on a sinkhole near Bayou Corne, according to Associated Press on Friday.

"But after the storm trudged past the parish, three new bubbling gas sites were discovered Tuesday in Bayou Corne, Grand Bayou and Triche Canal," the AP reports.

The estimated date that drilling will enter the cavern is 09/26.

"Don't make Assumptions" that the drilling will break through on the 26th. Or that they will inform the local populations before the real breakthrough event. Or that they even know how to stop the inevitable.

At least that's what Deputy Dawg says.

Deputy Dawg here. Might want to pay attention to the above poster CUZZ there's good info there. And in this topic as well.

can you enlighten me as to what is inevitable in this sinkhole case ?

on yesterday while installing a seismic monitoring station in a geo-technical core well, a sonic casing was driven down to 475′. While removing the outer casing, at 415′ they encountered a pocket of gas which blew grout and mud out of the casing.

Thanks for the ongoing input.

Hate to break it you but that Deputy Dawg turned out to be a fake. Admitted it himself. But an interesting coinky-dink, the 26th is when they are predicting to complete the drilling.

I haven't read that thread since he admitted that so I don't what else was said but it is rather unusual that GLP would be the place that someone would start giving off hints about the sinkhole. In a way it makes sense but I have my doubts about him being an actual worker at the sink hole.

The person you quoted is the one who posted that Deputy Dawg was fake...check the last page of the assumptions thread. There was no paper.

I'm still here too. Thank you so much for continuing to post updates! Much love to all of you!

I check here and the Assumption site daily. Did you see the link to the Texas Brine map? You can get there via the Assumption site. The sinkhole and where they are drilling is pictured. Quite an area.

Rechecked the thread..your right. Sorry, throughout the thread I under that impression that was the OP.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people read the post about the paper and never went back. I wasn't going to but then I saw it on the first page a couple of nights ago and decided to see what was going on. It is still interesting, just not moving nearly as fast as before.
