The sinkhole near Bayou Corne in Assumption Parish first opened up last August after locals noticed gas bubbling on the surface and a strong smell of diesel.   <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/08/22/article-2399929-1B6880EE000005DC-185_634x388.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It is now at least 28 acres, the size of around 21 football fields, and is continuing to grow.Authorities are currently unsure as to exactly what is causing it but say that no local residents are in danger. One theory is that the sinkhole was created by the mining of underground salt caverns in the area.The land is currently leased to mining company Texas Brine which specialises in injection mining, where freshwater is pumped into the caverns forcing saltwater to the surface.  <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/08/22/article-2399929-1B6880C2000005DC-735_634x397.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The saltwater is broken down into sodium hydroxide and chlorine which are used in manufacturing industries.Exploratory drilling showed the sinkhole emerged after a cavern's side wall collapse.    Texas Brine currently say they have no idea why the cavern suddenly collapsed. However they have reportedly offered compensation deals to those affected many of which have been accepted.     </blockquote>
