Colleagues -
It's a long sought methodology to bring to the unknowing boundary marking importance.
We know it.
The Great Unwashed doesn't.
Yet.
I've been working with a very responsive group, OGRA http://www.ogra.org/home.asp and have been involved with gently suggesting a few 'tweaks' to a policy document that was not perfect when first published in January of this year by OGRA, but it started the ball rolling as this group's leadership understands the need for monument preservation and the techniques to do so includes a "Special Provision" concept.
This link is the version "under tweak": http://www.ogra.org/lib/db2file.asp?fileid=33710
I'm trying to find time this holiday w/e to review and get back to a very willing and helpful person @ OGRA.
Suggestions welcomed.
Stay tuned.
Cheers
Derek
Fantastic. We need more such documents with real teeth in them thoughout the world.
In San Diego, among many other places.
One of my last jobs was to be a voice at the BLM table for monument protection when the natural gas pipeline is built from Coos Bay OR to Merlin CA. The ROW will be 200 ft wide and anything within is fair game. The pipeline company was doing a lot of
lidar work so the final ROW could be laid over GCDB numbers. From that we could see which monuments were inside the ROW.
