Officials have ordered Texas Brine, the company responsible for a salt cavern in the Bayou Corne area, to immediately drill a relief well to investigate. They must submit a permit by Monday or the company will be fined $5,000 per day. DNR wants this done immediately.
During the news conference, officials say the responsible parties will be held accountable and fined $5,000 per day until the situation is under control. The officials say they are investigating every potential source that may have caused the slurry.
DNR officials say the bottom line is, they're waiting on Texas Brine to submit the application to drill the relief well.

Local residents and the sheriff say the Department of Natural Resources "knew for months" that the Texas Brine well had integrity problems but didn't tell local authorities.
"DNR failed to report to anybody that this cavern could be the source of the bubbles," Landry said.
"I'm very upset about it. A lot of local residents are upset about it," he said. "I feel like I've been betrayed by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources."
Said the sheriff, "DNR has lost all credibility with me."

I've looked through a few of the pictures and articles but from what I can tell the size of the dome would only affect wooded swamp area. If that dome completly collapses I guess surrounding ones could collaps and maybe then affect the outer areas?
Could somene maybe "dumb down" the explination on what's going on for me?

Basically I think you have it correct. Biggest problems could be stored hydrocarbons such as propane, Nat gas, crude oil.
Also pipelines in the area that are major distribution affected.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll play like I stayed at a holiday inn last night...
Perhaps a dome gets a nice big breech in it. (From what I've heard and read, the potential problem is probably around the drill casing.)
Once any pressurized natural gas or product flowed out, the pressure would become lower, so the swamp would begin to flow into the dome. Mud, trees, water.... question is... how much? Would it be so much that it sucked some salt water into Verret?
When the fresh water gets into salt dome, supposedly it begins to absorb the salt, making the dome even bigger. So it would suck more water into itself then?
Do surrounding pipelines move/bend/break?
I dunno...

Good summary. Also if pressurized Nat gas escapes don't light a match anywhere near it.

Texas Brine better prepare their anus. They're about to get taken to the cleaners.

I don't know how big Texas Brine is, but it wouldn't surprise me if their net worth is less than the liability of a worst case scenario. Louisiana taxpayers will probably be left holding the bag.
I really want to know what the DNR has been doing for the last 17 months and why they thought keeping this quiet from everyone, including the Assumption Parish leadership, was a good idea. And how far up the ladder did this decision go?

Any chance the relief well causes instability and possible causes it to grow more?
