By who? The person that did it.
In my state, I am unaware of any statute that would require a person to rehabilitate every monument in a section to just get their 5 acres surveyed.?ÿ
The question remains...you revisit that monument, and it has obviously been changed in some way, and it is significantly different in measurement from the previous position.
Which position would you hold?
Which position is the best evidence of the original position (which is what should hold)?
Your old measurement and ties? If those are the best evidence, then in practice we haven't done anything different than what the OP describes.

I always do if I'm using them. If I know a monument is disturbed by construction I see as I drive by I'm not going back there to set one. Only if I have a client. As an example, I reset a 1/16 corner the other day, it was removed by a ditch enlargement. I needed it for a survey so I put it back where the old GPS coordinate showed it per an earlier survey.?ÿ
In WA I see it quite often and frankly its just a way to cut corners.?ÿ This is still somehow allowed per state code.
In ID you can no longer identify a corner as calculated, not set or not visited this survey. Each corner is either set or found on the each survey. I still see this on some surveys but for the most part all of the surveyors in my neck of the woods have been in compliance.
