BAYOU CORNE — Crosstex Energy LP of Dallas plans to begin on Tuesday shifting liquid butane from one underground storage cavern to another in the Napoleonville Salt Dome, moving the flammable product 1,000 feet farther away from a large sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish, company officials said.
Jill McMillan, Crosstex spokeswoman, said Friday that although the company believes the liquid butane in the cavern has not been affected by the sinkhole and poses no threat to the public, Crosstex is making the shift to the more distant location to address any community concerns.
“In an abundance of caution, we have decided to make some piping changes and move product from the well closest to the slurry to the well farthest from slurry to further alleviate any concerns from public,” McMillan said.
so they are in the middle of moving the butane. NOW they have a hurricane coming in
