RECOMMENDATIONS Two options: Repair existing sinkholes with a reverse graded filter and a clay cap. Risk of future maintenance costs associated with any additional sinkholes that may develop beyond the repaired area. Repair existing sinkholes as noted above and install a geosynthetic liner. Best long-term solution.
