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.
