My thought is that the GIS in the county is the problem. Once the county signed off on a flood zone determination, which they did, then it's incumbent...

@peter-lothian I think you're spot on, except getting A turned into AE probably won't happen at this location. My original engineer is still brea...

As far as a map adjustment, none of the Zone A determinations we've done ever resulted in the map being adjusted. I've been told repeatedly by the loc...

It's the beginning of the quantum apocalypse.

I do a lot of construction staking, but it's for private owners and their own works. We stake many miles of fence lines, buildings, ect. Much of mo...

I think the building staking job I was sent about a decade ago had 458 pages. There were pages and pages of threats concerning what will happen to you...

Construction staking became more of an accounting nightmare, so I revised my proposals for certain jobs. Be extremely specific on what tasks you're go...

Without having the chain of title sitting in front of us and knowing the rules that govern title in the state it's impossible to say. They may have cr...

I've not seen that the arrows are the standard for section labels, but I'm familiar seeing them. And Rankin is right that they often appear in hand ...

The state legislature was busy this year. So far I know of two notable statutes effecting landownership and subdivisions. The notable subdivision on...

In pavement or concrete it's at least a two bit process for a rebar cap. One hole for the rebar, widen it out for the cap, depends on the type of cap ...

I don't see the point of drilling out gravel. For concrete or pavement yes. The driver sets rebar in frozen ground and hard packed ground. No drilling...

You need a bunch of bits. As far as a 5/8" rebar we simply drive those, if it's concrete then the monument is a stem cap with magnet. But there is no ...

Is this a huge waterway? 5' of vertical error in the flood map is a big miss in my part of FEMA madness. If it's a Zone A not surprising at all, but t...

Why is a LOMA necessary if the building is 5' above the floodplain. What would be the Adjustment? Does the existing Flood Map show that site being...

@mathteacher There is no standard, only a set of observations over time. We don't have 96 locally most all the control is referenced to 80(93) for ...

Funny you should bring that up. I was working for the same owners about 5 miles south last summer. A black bear started running right at my location f...
