I guess that ban on fracking in bowling green city limits came a few years too late.
Its not so much the fracking, as it is the high Limestone substrata in the area, coupled with the disturbance of the soil from homes....underground utilities, roads and the like, this all changes the way the ground can handle the surface and subsurface water, resulting in sinkholes that would have occured naturally in say 10k years, to occur much sooner due to the disruption of the natural runoff disolving the Limestone at a much greater rate. I live in the Lehigh Valley in PA which is well known for sinkholes, im also a Sr. Property Adjuster for a major insurance company that investigates and (if covered) pays hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a year (just myself) on sinkhole related damages to homes, up to and including handing someone their policy limits and saying....."best go buy a new home in a new location, its not worth rebuilding."
All that said....im quite sure the fracking did not help an already bad situation.
