The Department of Environmental Protection has developed a new webpage that provides important information about sinkholes.

Sinkholes are a problem in Pennsylvania that affect public health and safety as well as stream and groundwater quality.

The webpage is educational and informative, answering questions such as what causes a sinkhole, what to do when sinkholes emerge, or who to call for help.

For more information, visit the DEP Sinkhole webpage or download DCNR’s Sinkholes in Pennsylvania publication.
