Starting on Wednesday there’s been lots going on under the murky waters of Lake FUBAR, the ever-expanding sinkhole at Bayou Corne.

2.8 quake in Tenn. – near Ridgely, TN
Request for Information:
Anyone in South Louisiana with a Geiger counter please comment here if you see anything ticking up.
OR – send e-mail (contact info is on the ‘About Us’ page, top tabs).
You haven’t put out a “response” since January.
There is live GPS data on all kinds of coordinates and land levels all over Assumption Parish. This data is supposed to public. The helicorders are supposed to be working and half of them are dead or giving out mish-mash. No one has even tended to them (in months!) to even temporarily fix them. The CORS911 system (with LSU help) is supposed to keep giving live GPS data. Acknowledging the big public hazard from Lake FUBAR they said “the CORS911 sentinels will continue to provide the real-time hazard-monitoring solutions needed to support this response for as long as necessary.”
Everything in the caverns is falling to pieces and self-generating quakes are large and frequent so, yeah, CORS911 data is still necessary.
Where’s the info from Sandia Labs, UC Berkeley, JPL, USGS and all the big-shots who we know are watching Lake FUBAR.
Keith M. sent this document in
CORS911: Real-Time Subsidence Monitoring of the Napoleonville Salt Dome Sinkhole Using GPS (July 2013)
It is now on the Documents page.
Here’s a Q & A on the 2013 CORS report –
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/heightmod/2013HeightModNOTESJuly.pdf
But it is from 2013. Then they ran out of money (LSU).
They are supposed to be keeping the CORS911 thing going….
“In May 2013 a commission of scientists, response agents, and stakeholders concluded that subsidence monitoring programs were essential for ensuring public safety [LADNR, 2013b]. The CORS911 system, in coordination with the other monitoring platforms, is a key resource for these objectives. After broader attention to the sinkhole wanes, the CORS911 sentinels will continue to provide the real-time hazard-monitoring solutions needed to support this response for as long as necessary.”

Gas-charged fluids creating seismicity associated with a Louisiana sinkhole (2014)
“Natural earthquakes and nuclear explosions produce seismic waves that register on seismic monitoring networks around the globe, allowing the scientific community to pinpoint the location of the events. In order to distinguish seismic waves produced by a variety of activities – from traffic to mining to explosions – scientists study the seismic waves generated by as many types of events as possible. ”

PLUS they are trying to put any sort of setting on those numbers on the right side of the helicorder charts!

Quake in Tennessee –

The last report shows over a quarter million barrels of butane stored way too near the unstable sinkhole!
Back in the beginning the first Emergency Declaration said Texas Brine’s screw up threatens “sites and facilities under the regulatory authority of the Commissioner of Conservation”. That would include the Crosstex butane caverns.
Texas Brine hasn’t given out info to the public since January.
In 2012, on Aug. 3rd, Texas Brine was ordered to quit storing natural gas in their cavern at Napoleonville by Conservation Commissioner, James H. Welsh. But Crosstex got no order to stop putting butane in their cavern. They only got told to shut their endangered pipeline near the sinkhole.
On Aug. 9, 2012 Texas Brine was ordered to give Conservation DAILY reports on Oxy 3.
Texas Brine isn’t off the hook because of the passage of time. On Nov. 19, 2014 the state gave a 12th Emergency Declaration saying the emergency is still on and Texas Brine better hop to and adhere to the Blue Ribbon’s outline for action.
This week (7-16) Texas Brine says they are doing daily checks(!) at Lake FUBAR. Oh, yeah? Then they must know all about the monitors showing earthquakes and mayhem on the increase. 
On page 2 of their report they claim “Sinkhole Activity – GREEN“ <????? On 7-15 it was YELLOW <????? Back in 2014 they were using Code 1, Code 2 etc., not colors. They switched to this color code thing on their reports on June 15. But who knows what the colors mean? No press release about it.
DNR hasn’t listed a daily report to Conservation from Texas Brine since 2014. Page 2 of the Sept. 14 Emergency Declaration, Third Amendment says Texas Brine has to provide DAILY reports. Is DNR lazy? Is Texas Brine defying Conservation? Will we ever know?
Additionally, DNR hasn’t posted an Inspection Report from Texas Brine since Jan. 2014. 
Ditto for subsidence info. And DNR hasn’t put out any site photos or maps in over a year(!) – even though the last bubble site map (5-14) showed Bayou Corne looking like a bottle of champagne!

Code Levels are 1-3, with Code 1 being the lowest level of alert.
Code 1: Minimal to no seismic activity around/below sinkhole; 10 or fewer of the sharp seismic signals associated with rock movement, called mini-earthquakes (MEQs) or the longer signals associated with gas or liquid movement, called Very Long Periods (VLPs) within 24-hour period; allows work on sinkhole and inside berm area to continue.
Code 2: Restricts work directly on the sinkhole, indicates some increased seismic activity around/below sinkhole but not at a level that indicates imminent threat of sloughing or movement below sinkhole (10 to 50 MEQs or VLPs in 24 hours).
Code 3: Restricts all work inside the containment berm, indicates seismic activity has elevated to a point similar to what has been seen in past monitoring prior to a sloughing on the shore or movement beneath sinkhole (More than 50 MEQs or VLPs in 24 hours).

OK quakes get bigger
Fluid movement at 1 a.m. on Christmas.
Texas Brine put out a fact sheet Dec. 18 that backtracks from their recent musing that there is no more gas coming up. It also claims the salt dome is stable and, presumably, the cap rock is not fracturing into chunks and falling apart. They repeat their assurances that are contradicted by the helicorders.
It shows on LA12 –
To get into the spirit of the Code 2 declaration, Crosstex is ADDING a lot more butane to the cavern next to sunken berm corner!
On July 13 it had 498,803 barrels in Well #1.
