The fifth sinkhole to appear on or near Langley Township Councillor Rob Rindt’s property has him worried about the safety of his family and staff.
The first four sinkholes appeared on his property or nearby in April and May, and damaged 240th Street to such an extent that traffic had to be restricted to one lane on 240th Street between 80th Avenue and 72nd Avenue for several days in May while repairs were made. His staff work in the fields there, and his children play on that land, Rindt said. He’s concerned about future sinkholes creating a hazard for them.The pipeline stretches across the fields of Rindt’s turf farm, and also affects a potato field that serves the distillery.Langley Advance TimesIn May, the company said the first two sinkholes were caused by what it described in a statement as “challenging ground conditions.
“It’s not as good as it sounds,” he said of the trenchless method. Fortunately, he said the golf course’s sinkholes were filled in and are not in areas of play. The pipeline was taken over by the federal government in 2018, purchased from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion.
