completed recently ?• What was the chronology of events ?• Was there historic mining in the area ?

• Mitigation practices are retrofits of proper design
• BMP’s should be used during both mitigation & construction
• Showing the proper design on the plans leads the contractor to better results

Excavation is typically one of the final steps in the investigation of a sinkhole
and the first step in the mitigation.
Excavation:• Removes loose soils•Provides a 1st hand view of the collapse•Permits channels to be traces•May expose the throat or bedrock

Once excavation is completed backfill can begin.
• Native soils typically have enough clay content to be used in the repair.
• Use of bentonite clay will decrease the permeability of the soil limiting water movement.
• Flowable fill may be appropriate, too.

Mitigation, BMPs & Design
•Following BMPs during construction limits the amount of water encountering carbonate bedrock.
•The BMPs are mostly just plain common sense.
![Page 86: Sinkhole presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020218/5599c18d1a28abe7168b459a/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Mitigation, BMPs & Design• Provide positive drainage away from building areas
and exposed rock at all times during construction.
• Avoid water ponding or the concentration of surface flow, which could result in surface erosion and allow runoff to enter the sub-grade.
• Excavations, such as those for footings and utilities, should be covered as soon as possible after
exposure. No more trenching should be opened than can be backfilled that same day.

• Backfill should be placed in layers and compacted and should be no more permeable than the adjacent soils.
• Where rock is encountered, excavation methods other
than blasting are favored. Blasting should be performed by a contractor experienced with localized, controlled blasting to minimize rock disturbance away from the blast area.
• Exterior finish grades should provide for positive drainage of run-off away from the building areas.

Mitigation, BMPs & Design
• Avoid deep cuts, especially in the building areas. Where possible, keep ground floor levels at or above existing grades. Where basements are considered, poured
concrete walls should be considered.
• The area immediately adjacent to building walls should be impermeable to reduce or prevent infiltration of runoff into foundation areas.

Mitigation, BMPs & Design
• Underground piping should be leak-proof (gasketed joints, etc.). Use somewhat conservative design to allow flexibility, particularly at building entrances. Leakage can be a prime source of origin of post-construction sinkhole activity.

Mitigation, BMPs & Design
• Roof drainage should be piped and discharged into the storm system.
• Underground piping should be properly bedded. Where non-uniform rock conditions, e.g. pinnacles, boulders, etc., are encountered at the bedding elevation, the rock should be over excavated at least 1 ft. and replaced with compacted soil.
