( 36-72-5)
Application for a permit shall include, at a minimum, the following
information: (1) Evidence of ownership of the land on which the cemetery or
burial ground is located in the form of a legal opinion based upon
a title search; (2) A report prepared by an archeologist stating the number of
graves believed to be present and their locations as can be
determined from the use of minimally invasive investigation
techniques, including remote sensing methods and the use of metal
probes, which activities shall not require a permit; (3) A survey prepared by or under the direction of a registered
surveyor showing the location and boundaries of the cemetery or
burial ground based on an archeologist's report; (4) A plan prepared by a genealogist for identifying and notifying the descendants of those buried or believed to be buried in such cemetery. If those buried or believed to be buried are of aboriginal or American Indian descent, the genealogist, in preparing the notification plan, shall consult with the Council on American Indian Concerns created pursuant to Code Section 44-12-280 and shall include in the notification plan not only any known descendants of those presumed buried but also any American Indian tribes as defined in paragraph (2) of Code Section 44-12-260 that are culturally affiliated; and (5) A proposal for mitigation or avoidance of the effects of the
planned activity on the cemetery or burial ground. If the
proposal includes relocation of any human remains or burial
objects, the proposal shall specify the method of disinterment,
the location and method of disposition of the remains, the
approximate cost of the process, and the approximate number of
graves affected. |
