I used to live just down the street from bluehole. It was a awesome place to go as a kid.

[@Thetealeaf1984]

Yep! That's common in NE Indiana too, only our Karst landscape is saturated with water, and silt from the last ice age. We have a lot of sink holes that have actually formed into mud springs and fresh water springs. Many of which are actually quite dangerous like the one in Wells County where Pickette's Run in Bluffton begins. It's a silt filled spring that is easy to get stuck in. They have fenced off the area and erected warning signs because of people getting stuck in the spring. There are also records of underground silt-caves found throughout southern Wells County which have swallowed many drill rigs.

[@doomoo5365]

Wow maybe there's some interesting fossils at the bottom of that mud spring kind of like the La Brea Tar Pits

Wind companies are trying to put 600 plus foot wind turbines on this. How smart is that.

[@rossbryan6102]

NO PROBLEM HERE! JUST TAKE ROCK CORE SAMPLES TO DETERMINE THE DEPTH TO STABLE ROCK , THEN DEEPEN FOOTINGS IF NECESSARY !

[@GreatBobskiOutdoors]

@@rossbryan6102 A clueless response. The porous rock that forms the karst could easily route between your “core sample” drill bit(s). If you miss it, and subsequently allow your foundation pancake to block a channel vein of waterflows, the results can be catastrophic. ANY KNOWN KARST FORMATION should be avoided as a location for turbine foundations. This is a crystal clear case of profits coming before people. Karst is more than “voids and sinkholes”; karst is Swiss-cheese like worn holes snaking through limestone, allowing water to travel great distances undetected. Block the holes with concrete and you’re causing major environmental risk.

[@GreatBobskiOutdoors]

Right on Roger! Right on…

[@rossbryan6102]

STILL NOT A PROBLEM AS CORE SAMPLING WILL DETERMINE THE DEPTHS OF STABLE ROCK FORMATIONS! CONCRETE OR STEEL PILINGS CAN FILL THE VOIDS! AS FOR PLUGGING OFF UNDERWATER CHANNELING , THE CHARACTERISTICS OF KARST CAN SIMPLY REROUTE WATER AROUND OBSTRUCTIONS! EXAMPLE ,THINK OF A NAIL DRIVEN IN A SPONGE!

Those turbines could very well become the greatest environmental disaster/folly of our time. There’s a reason the Ohio Supreme Court is hearing the case (in Feb 2023) to stop the APEX project. Hopefully they’ll do the right thing. So sad for the people of Erie and Huron counties. Karst is NO PLACE to build turbines.

Ohio, my home state, is just such an interesting place. I love it's rich natural and cultural history, unfortunately, I could not make a life there like I have today on Maui.

[@joeholden6129]

Groundwater becomes acidic from bacterial respiration; they consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide that dissolves in the water producing carbonic acid. This reduces the pH. Acidic water dissolves the carbonate rock which is a buffer. Incidentally, if a sinkhole forms on your property, say underneath your home then you're screwed because home owner's jnsurance policies won't cover it. I had this happen to a friend. He watched his swimming pool drain through a crack in the bottom one morning. Then the pool and his house started to slide into the sinkhole. The city condemned his property and he had to move out. The bank still expected him to make his mortgage payment but the insurance co. wouldn't cover his loss. I never knew how the problem was resolved because I moved away. He was really bummed out.
