Drilling on wells to begin at Assumption sinkhole Last Modified: Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 9:46 p.m. Bayou Corne’s 350 or so residents remain under a mandatory evacuation while scientists determine the reason for the sinkhole’s emergence off La. 70 on Aug. 3. The hole’s width of 620 feet has not changed since initial surveys, Boudreaux said, but recent studies suggest its depth could be less than the 420 feet it measured two weeks after the hole appeared... The bubbling continues in the three locations — Grand Bayou, Bayou Corne and Triche Canal, parallel to Bayou Corne — but has decreased in the Bayou Corne area, Boudreaux added. www.houmatoday.com/article/20120913/ARTICLES/120919835________________________________________ Ottawa sinkhole swallows car, but not driver Highway 174 eastbound could be closed for days as sinkhole grows to size of 'Olympic pool' Last Updated: Sep 5, 2012 7:39 PM ET www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2012/09/05/ottawa-sinkhole-man-escapes-highway-174.htmlGiant Sinkhole Grows in Brooklyn, Swallows – Car Aug 2, 2012 3:44pm abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/08/giant-sinkhole-grows-in-brooklyn-swallows-car/Sinkhole Swallows Car in North Carolina – Wed, Sep 5, 2012 12:11 PM EDT gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/sinkhole-swallows-car-north-carolina-161146188--abc-news-topstories.html

Posted: Sunday, 30 September 2012 6:33AM Sinkhole grows, hits Assumption business and home values The sinkhole in Assumption Parish keeps getting bigger. The parish's director of homeland security and emergency preparedness, John Boudreaux, says a 15-hundred square foot section of the earth caved in last week, pulling down several trees and part of a road. The road that caved in was built to assist in the cleanup efforts. The sinkhole is about four acres in size and has grown since it emerged on August third. 150 homes in two nearby communities are evacuated as a result of the sinkhole. more: www.wwl.com/Sinkhole-grows--hits-Assumption-business-and-home-/14373381

Gas flowing from sinkhole November 03, 2012 BAYOU CORNE — Texas Brine Co. began burning off natural gas Friday that was trapped in a water aquifer near a sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish, officials said. This was the first time state, parish or company officials have been able to get gas to flow from four “vent wells” driven into the ground around the sinkhole in order to draw the dangerous gas out of the aquifer. Located in the swamps between Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou south of La. 70 South, the sinkhole is more than 5½ acres in size at the surface and has prompted authorities to issue a standing evacuation order on Aug. 3 applying to 150 homes. theadvocate.com/home/4309557-125/gas-flowing-from-sinkhole
