side of the cemetery, being careful to observe the agreed upon set-backs and mining depths. However, the topsoil stripping along the southwest corner was close to the 10 foot set-back right at the corner. The single strand wire being used to delineate the perimeter of the cemetery was off of one of the tee-posts along the south side, however, this did not impact the cemetery since no additional disturbance had occurred in this area. The track running through the cemetery from northwest to southeast is actually a livestock trail. The landowner at some point cut the fence along the north side to facilitate the movement of horses across the cemetery. This may also be the reason the single strand fence was off the tee-post along the south side. No vehicle tracks were observed within the delineated area of the cemetery during this inspection. With respect to the specific requests made on page 10 of the complaint letter; 1. The site will continue to be inspected at the same frequency as all other 1 12c permit sites which is once every three to four years. 2. The operator will be required to erect an additional perimeter boundary marker around the cemetery reflecting the previously agreed upon 10 foot buffer plus the additional 5 foot buffer verbally agreed to with the landowner during the last inspection. 3. The set-back will be 5 feet from the existing single strand fence that the county previously erected. This will provide aset-back from the nearest known grave site of more than. 15 feet but possibly less than 30 feet. Mining must occur at no steeper than a 2H:1 V slope and must be no closer than the 15 foot off- setfrom the cemetery which will be clearly delineated by the temporary fence. 4. Reclamation must occur as soon as possible once mining is completed including the areas where it may be determined that topsoil was stripped closer than the set-back once the new markers are installed. This request has not been placed on the Board Agenda as we believe the proposed remedies outlined in this report; including the problem cited on page 4 and the subsequent technical revision that is being required in response to the problem, will adequately address the concerns identified in the complaint letter. In the event the complainant is not satisfied, this item will be scheduled for a hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board at a future date. This concluded the inspection.
