Starting a description from a coordinate

fattiretom · 2014-02-06T02:19:00Z

So I have to write descriptions for wetlands that are well into the middle of a property for a client who has to submit them to the ACoE. We did not do the boundary survey of the property but we have done all the topographic, as-built, and layout work for the wetlands restoration project. The work is so far from the property lines that is simply does not matter for this project. So my thought here is to set a starting point (capped 36" rebar) and assign a coordinate to it. Then run my descriptions with a few other coordinates in there. I'd be very descriptive about my datum, etc. It should be noted that I have gotten permission to set only one point in the the field per wetland...it should also be noted that we are describing wetlands that were flagged by someone who was essentially an intern for the client (a non profit group) and that we located them sub foot...What say you about this?Tom

Provide the SPC for the monument and include the elevation. Include the zone, the horizontal and vertical datum, the epoch and the geoid modle used.

I would also put how the coordinate was derived. Such as network RTK, OPUS, or Static.

With that data provided, surveyor can reproduce the point in the field.
