Three new bubbling spots have been identified and confirmed; in Bayou Corne, Grand Bayou, and Triche Canal. DEQ will pull samples to investigate and the spots will be monitored. Once lab results are available, they will be posted.

    "An excess uranium analysis showed isolated elevated sigma values on the eastern portion of the survey due most likely to fertilizer usage. Total count and excess levels over and near the sinkhole were within in normal levels."

    Sigma level is 4.. 6 is considered emergency..ASPECT uses a graded scale in which 0 to 4 sigma are considered normal and greater than 4 sigma highlights data very different from the population. Greater than 6 sigma indicates that the data is extremely different and warrants additional investigation.

    …also there are "isolated areas greater than 4 sigma units from the mean of the survey"

    Does anybody know why fertilizer usage can explain elevated uranium measured via bismuth 214 levels?

      Reading the report-the "petrolum" which was suggested as a cause of warming the Sink Hole–in conclusions– its either Petro OR upwelling of subsurface brine…SO…either way..the saltdome seems to have failed. Please note the first paragraphs of the report were the "test" scenario and initial thoughts-before tests. THE conclusion is the important part. Also, note the document is not searchable by word–so will not be available on an internet search(unless its privately searched by internal search engines from other formats). Sneaky.

    Since speculation forms an integral part of this report, its value becomes pre-conclusive. Only a proper test on the exact fertiliser itself will shed more light.
    Toddler mathematics: Uranium of this report minus uranium of next report = uranium we are looking for. Thank you very much.

    I first learned about radioactive fertilizer in the early '90's, via a mainstream newspaper. I found it odd that no one would believe me when I told them!

    Here's one link–it's worth taking the time to research further, if you're interested:

    Jim Cantore could have a new job! Standing on the mouth of a sinkhole and report findings instead of the Oceanfront during Hurricane landfalls. Big money!

    We are aware of fish kills reported in the Bayou Lafourche, Belle River, and surrounding Lake Verret areas. The question is: How is this going to affect our water being Bayou Lafourche is our potable water supply??

    Some material is much more prone and susceptible to radioactivity. High volumes of noble gasses are being released in a nuclear meltdown because its resistance is higher.
    Concrete and steel and rubble were found to have become radioactive after long exposure. The soluble effect of fertiliser in the most upper level of the crust spreads rapidly to wind, water, fish and food. Radioactivity has the character of becoming embedded in the environment and changes as the lives of the isotopes run down. Digestion takes place long before the isotope is run off. This is carcinogenic.

    Thanks, Razzz…some good stuff there!

    Interesting line under "Accidents, Incidents" in the article titled "Contaminated Pipe Fitting From Taiwan": "By a curious coincidence, cobalt-60 contaminated steel was melted down in late 1982 by Taiwan's Hsin Jong Iron and Steel Mfg. Co., and formed into rebar that ended up being used in home construction."

    Coincidence? Or just another creative way to dispose of nuclear waste…like inside salt caverns? Not to worry–the "NRC concluded that there was no threat to public health and safety."

    Let's see…we've got radioactive pipe fittings, rebar, and drywall. At what level does it become a threat?
