§ 13.2. Sink Holes  


Latest version.
  • Sink holes are one of several karst surface expressions that meet the TCEQ definition of a sensitive feature. Several methods are available to deal with sink holes depending on their location, both before and during construction. Due to the possibility of being a recharge feature, an approved geologic assessment of the space and surrounding area by or for TCEQ will be required before any action can be taken. For public safety, a detention basin may replace the function of the sinkhole if no endangered species are impacted. For further information, see TCEQ documents RG-348 and RG-348 Appendix A.
