Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge; Grand Chenier, Louisiana. Grand Chenier, Louisiana. 1. At 1830 on March 13, 1995, the Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge, six miles east-southeast of Grand Chenier, Louisiana, was notified of a possible leak at the Price Lake Unit.

The pipeline was shut down at that time and the pipeline finished bleeding down on March 17.

An in-situ marsh burn was initiated on March 17 to remove the condensate on the marsh and facilitate repair of the pipeline. USCG district 8.
