“It has become clear that Texas Brine is trying to run out the clock on the citizens of Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou by hiding behind insurance companies, lawyers and lobbyists,” Jindal said in a statement released Monday afternoon. “That is unacceptable. Texas Brine is responsible for the sinkhole, and they need to clean up the mess they’ve madeand do right by the people of Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou by issuing long overdue settlement offers.”
BATON ROUGE – The company which owns land a massive sinkhole appeared on blamed their insurance carrier today for the holdup in buyouts for nearby property.
Texas Brine, LLC released a statement which said their carrier hasn’t approved any money for buyouts just yet, and they’re working with the insurance company to get that money as soon as they can.
Around 100 residents living near the sinkhole in Assumption Parish signed up to have their properties bought out. Officials said Texas Brine is nearly three weeks overdue to make offers for their land.
Estimates put the damage and related costs from the sinkhole at $40 million, which the state says Texas Brine is liable for.
Gov. Bobby Jindal scheduled a press conference this afternoon to address issues with the sinkhole response. News 2 crews are there and will have updates tonight.
BAYOU CORNE – Buyouts and outstanding costs for dealing with a sinkhole in Assumption Parish could be on Governor Bobby Jindal’s agenda for a press conference scheduled for this afternoon.
The governor scheduled the event for 1:20 p.m. at the Bayou Corne Sportman’s Landing on Hwy 70 South. . . .
“Ascension and St. James parishes are home to four fertilizer plants, two of which produce materials similar to that produced at the plant that exploded Wednesday night in West.”
LA12, LA14 going at it AGAIN. LA15 out of commission. Hold onto your hat!

It is pointed out by reader, Jec that there was a deep, giant earthquake in Iran at 6:52 a.m. CST this morning. 11:52 UTC = 6:52 CST. We have seen foreign quakes show up before on the helicorders at Bayou Corne, but the LARGE SPIKES at the same time on multiple helicorders overnight precede that Iran quake.

[Tenn. report] - “I have no links, no proof except for what I’ve been hearing all morning. Sometimes the rumbling is long and sounds like it could be a HUGE HUGE plane but nothing I’ve ever heard as I live near the airport. The booms are just loud explosive sounding. I haven’t found any information about them blasting in the area for construction. WTF?? Anyone else hearing anything?”
“Remarks regarding the #3 Well Pad on the eastern edge of the sinkhole according to Bret Barras: “the Slough Off looks to be 60′ in depth and 90′ in length along the Northwest to Northeast side of the Oxy #3 Well Pad. The work pad extension where the excavator worked from to remove sink hole debris is completely gone. The green 8″ pipe marker at the beginning of the work pad is gone. Approximately 15′ of the #3 Well Pad has sloughed off. This is referencing where the green 8″ pipe was located.”
The USGS page on its response to the Bayou Corne “incident” (collapsed salt dome, a disaster) has a seismic monitor map link for the Sept. 2012 helicorder locations. Completely invalid now. Plus they left.
It will be worthwhile to watch the helicorders today -
