      Administration Description

      Date: 2020-05-11
      The first option is to leave the
      graves in situ. This would be possible should there be no direct impact on the graves.
      However, there always is a secondary impact as descendants may find it difficult to visit the
      site once mining has commenced. Therefore the site should be fenced in and a management
      plan should be written for the preservation and maintenance thereof. Such a fence should be
      erected at least 50 m from the perimeter of the site as blasting closer than that will definitely
      have a negative impact on the graves.

      Action Status: Accepted
      Site Action: Conservation
