Made area safe.Put up safety fence

I appreciate that you all came out so quickly to place an orange safety barrier around this sink hole. What will be the next course of action ?

On or about 7/30/2018, a 4 ft wide by 4ft deep sink hole appeared at the rear of my property in the drainage easement between 4533 and 4530 Tulip Way, Ellicott City. On 7/30/2018, the county put up orange safety fencing around the sink hole, but to date, nothing else has been done. The sink hole has now expanded to approximately 8 feet wide.

The sinkhole is located on private property.
