Title: 10:50 a.m. Slough In on SW Side of Sinkhole
Source: Assumption Parish Police Jury
Date: October 9, 2012

There has been a 10′ x 50′ foot slough in of the sinkhole on the SW side (towards the pipeline right-of-way, the 50′ is along the embankment of the hole). Five trees were lost during this slough in. Clean up has been halted until further notice.

It appears this ‘pipeline right-of-way’ is a corridor referred to as the ‘grass road’ which was recently discussed here: New flyover footage shows grass road is dissolving into giant Louisiana sinkhole (VIDEO)
