Stormwater and sinkholes
State geologists note that human activity can speed sinkhole formation and that karst areas are sensitive to changes in land use and drainage. Lancaster County's sinkholes and karst features are mapped in a Pennsylvania Geological Survey report. Plan grading, downspouts and any new paved areas so water is not concentrated near foundations.
