I worked for seven years in consultative marketing of bio-remediation of hazardous waste, primarily hydrocarbons. Bullet point #7… “•Ensure total remediation of the entire site” is BS. There isn’t enough money, manpower, and cooperation from the oil companies to re-mediate the condition that has developed in Bayou Corne; and, it is not over. The land and the water in that area are poisoned virtually forever. Anyone living within a mile of the sinkhole should be evacuated due to the Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)….”fumes” as layman might say.
This is not a unique event. Sinkholes caused by salt dome failures due to oil industry operations are common worldwide. But, this time these greedy bastards have screwed the pooch. The/their “Plan” appears to look as though the authorities have the matter in hand. The truth is they don’t have a clue how to stop what’s happening because there is no way to stop it. The edge of the salt dome is irreparably damaged…GFL.
