A setback of one hundred (100) feet shall be required for all mining activities conducted adjacent to a county right-of-way.

At no time, shall this setback be reduced to less than fifty (50) feet from the right-of-way. A protective berm shall be erected, prior to and during the mining of lands adjacent to the setback from a right-of-way. Such land shall be reclaimed within one (1) year after it has been disturbed.
