Exhibit C - Upright Headstone Realignment Diagrams.pdf

This document is an exhibit containing upright headstone realignment diagrams for the Santa Fe National Cemetery National Shrine Project FY22, Phase I (Project No. 904-Mill-FY22-001).

The exhibit presents technical diagrams illustrating the realignment methodology for burial section headstones. Figure 2 provides a plan view showing the realignment process using keystones as reference points to establish proper row and column alignment. The diagram indicates that an initial keystone is set first, followed by subsequent keystones placed on a realignment grid. String lines are used to align headstones in both transverse and longitudinal directions, with rows to be parallel and columns to be parallel. Intermediate headstones are set after keystones are established. The diagram notes that in sloping terrain, additional keystones may be necessary to provide smooth transitions. Figure 3 presents elevation views showing typical vertical alignment in both flat and sloped sections. The flat section elevation depicts existing undisturbed soil surfaces and headstone positioning relative to original locations marked by dashed lines. The sloped section elevation illustrates projected vertical alignment relative to average top soil surface level, with keystones and realigned headstones positioned according to mean or average surface elevations. These diagrams serve as technical specifications for the proper installation and alignment of headstones during the cemetery renovation phase.
