 Stupidity  Development  Roads  Dumping  Logging  Mining  Oil and Gas

 Difficult to overcome but essential for survival  Not to be confused with ignorance, which can be overcome with education  In time the gene pool may cleanse itself

 Urban/Industrial  Golf Courses  Agricultural  Pavement run-off  Decreased infiltration  Increased flooding  Increased Sedimentation  Increased Contamination

 Collapse  Storm water runoff routed into karst features  Spills Draining into karst features

 Groundwater contamination  Harmful to cave life  Hazardous to visitors

 Increased Sedimentation  Change in Water Chemistry  Plugging Entrances USFS Photo by Jim Baichtal

 Removes the cave  New entrances may change air & water flow, temperature, and humidity

 Increased Surface Disturbance  Drilling fluids in caves  Leaky casing  Leaky tanks, pits, & pipes  Truck spills =  Groundwater Contamination
