Efforts to bring a natural gas leak under control in Lafourche Parish are expected to continue through Wednesday.
Crews have been working for several days at the site of the leak, a gas well about three miles southeast of Golden Meadow on the east side of Bayou Lafourche.
Houston-based Castex Energy owns the well.
Parish officials haven't said how long the leak has been going on or how much gas has been released. Lafourche Parish Fire District 3 says air and water quality are being monitored regularly in the area.
