(Before It's News)

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) -A group is petitioning the Obama administration to get the sinkhole in Assumption Parish declared as a federal disaster, so a federal team can be assigned to the cleanup and investigation.

So far, “We the People” has over 50 signatures, but needs a total of 25,000 before Feb. 4.

The group said 150 homes have been evacuated since August 2012 with no timeline as to when families might be allowed to return.

The petition was drawn up a day after Texas Brine, the owner of the failed salt dome believed to be the cause of the sinkhole, filed an injunction against the state of Louisiana.
