In May, Williamson County Engineer Terron Evertson said it will take at least 200 trucks of concrete to fill the cave. Tim Kelley, who lives near Cambira Cavern, told CBS Austin he is looking forward to the cave being filled in. His driveway access has been blocked for months, making mundane tasks like grocery shopping a hassle. Although the County says the caves do not pose a risk to homeowners nearby, Kelley said the unknown still makes him a bit uneasy. "Even if there is a 5% chance (the cave) goes under my house, that's still a big deal to worry about," said Kelley.

I suggest they backfill it with sand. Flow the sand into the void using water, setup a dewatering well system at he far end of the void to remove the water and recycle it for flowing the sand in. The water will compact the sand and fill all voids.

This is how dredging works.
