Just watch out for other buried utilities,like gas and electrical/telephone.Bed the pipe in 3/4" clear fractured rock and tamp it in place with a shovel ,top it with a foot of rock and it won't settle. You also can buy rubber adaptor couplings to make the repair with pvc pipe , the pipe burster should go right through it no problem. A simple repair like this shouldn't need inspection.
Good luck
