A sinkhole remediation contractor will be on-site on Tuesday, July 11, to determine the issue and draft a remediation plan.
The void is a reopening of a previous sinkhole on the site from 2013.
In 2013, the sinkhole was remediated using a method designed to minimize danger to surrounding areas by containing any future reopening to the original location and preventing expansion of the opening.
The sinkhole also reopened in 2015 and was remediated by the County.
The site is closed to the public and secured with two layers of fencing.
