They have been blasting in that quarry for 30 years and there are homes and businesses around them that have been there just as long and are still standing. There is no damage to foundations from these little jolts, our wall art doesn't even move when this happens. It's one heck of a lot better than worrying about sink holes like you have in the northern villages, none down here in the farm land. If you want to be free of sink holes come on down and look around south of 44. Enjoy nature and the peace and quiet that just doesn't exist north of here. Now, let the bashing begin from those who would like to be down here but just can't do it.
The land hasn’t been disturbed with construction yet and pressure from the retention pound haven’t ctreated leaks. IMO most sinkholes are actually man made ground collapses
