The county surveyor may take any necessary action to aid him in making the survey and plat. The county surveyor shall give the mine owner or operator ten (10) days written notice of the date the survey will begin.
(b) The owner, operator or any person in charge of any mine shall not hinder, delay or prevent the county surveyor, or engineer substituted for him from entering the mine, from making the survey and plat, or from performing his duties under subsection (a) of this section. Any person violating this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), or by imprisonment for not more than six (6) months, or both.
