The have to drill a new hole to plumb the depth. So all this time they didn’t make sure they had a working hole?
The Advocate – Texas Brine to conduct depth test on cavern
By David J. Mitchell
Texas Brine Co. plans to conduct a key test Tuesday on the depth of its failed Napoleonville Dome salt cavern, the suspected cause of a large sinkhole in Assumption Parish, company officials said.
The test is expected to show how close the salt dome cavern is to being completely filled with rock, a point when scientists suspect the grumbling, growing swampland sinkhole may finally begin calming down. . . .
. . . Drillers will send a tool called a sinker bar down the access well until it hits bottom, providing a measurement of the cavern’s depth, [ spokesman, Sonny] Cranch said. They also will conduct a sonar survey of the cavern’s remaining open interior . . . .

This is why we show certain quakes on this blog . . . New Madrid fault doesn’t need extra activity!
The parish blog says you can contact their Blue Ribbon Panel. Have at it.

wow! great!
Sorry I didn’t realize at first that it was an August report. Interesting twist… a tweeter was connecting this to a Koch plant found to be contaminating Arkansas directly up the Mississippi River
still Ok for posting as more are interested in health issues.
I also have it on The Bugle with search term ‘southern studies’ so easy to find…
Does anyone really buy that they spent many 1000’s of dollars to just ‘tag’ the bottome of the cavern? I have no doubt they will play tag, but insiders say much more is going on than that. Remember 3A is the relief well with the H2S having to be scrubbed…
why didn’t they have a hole drilled and ready all this time to constantly tell depth??
It was, but Oxy 3A salted in. They had to do a workover to get that crushed pipe out and install new casing.
well, they waited long enough!
Too busy trying to blow the damn place up…
Thank you for posting this information regarding the toxic chemicals, including the NORM, that have endangered the health and impacted the living conditions of those residents of Bayou Corne. I have posted on facebook.
and don’t forget this great article . . .

Left a comment asking for an update. May the blue or red commissions are all over it!

Reblogged this on Family Survival Protocol.
“So all this time they didn’t know if they had a working hole?” From what I have read, that has been a part of the problem, Russian roulette with the salt domes. Drilling without first determining what was underground and if they would be on target. Now, there is indication that the bottom has risen by 60′.
these berms should have been constructed months ago and the ‘hole’ should be a permanent thing so they can constantly check.
They do half measures a day late every time!
Watch them try and put gag orders onto residents who ‘settle’ with buy outs!
I think the Parish ought to put a halt to these people’s activities until someone can come that understands what the heck is going on. At least stop and think out what the plan is and a solid path forward, this shooting from the hip isn’t working out to well

Helicorders look ominous, the look of the waves looks like liquid faction. Good be reverberation from big quake in Papau NEw Guenia Region.
