SURVEY AREA Clause Samples

SURVEY AREA. The area to be surveyed for the easement will be marked by wooden stakes or flags. Only boundary angle points should be staked or flagged. For identification purposes, angle points are to be identified by sequential number on the photograph and on the corresponding wooden stakes or flags. Any significant (more than 5 percent) variation in the acres surveyed should be reported immediately to the COR and NRCS State WRP Manager. The surveyor will not modify the easement area surveyed at the direction of the landowner. The boundary of the easement area will not be changed from what is indicated. Only the NRCS contracting office may authorize a modification to the easement area boundary. Any variations in the number of acres surveyed should be reported immediately to the contracting officer. Any questions regarding the easement area should be directed to the contracting officer. The surveyor must locate the easement area boundary angle points and record the description, using bearings and distances as referenced to the National Spatial Reference System. The boundary survey shall be a complete perimeter traverse of the easement area tied to two monumented corners of the PLSS or two monumented corners of a recorded deed. A latitude and longitude coordinate must be established for each angle point of the easement, using North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) with a + 1 meter accuracy. Monuments and witness posts with signs must be installed by the surveyor at the time the survey is completed, unless otherwise specified by the CO.

All monuments must be thoroughly described and specifically identified as set or found, whenever shown on maps or referred to in documents prepared by the surveyor. Descriptions of monuments must be sufficiently detailed to readily facilitate future recovery by other surveyors and to enable positive identification. Corner monuments must be a minimum 5/8-inch diameter, solid-steel rebar rod. The minimum length for the corner monument is 24 inches. The top of the monument must be driven to just below the ground surface. Monument caps (plastic, aluminum, or brass, approved by NRCS) must be placed on each rebar. The surveyor must provide witness posts: steel, U-shaped channel posts at least 78 inches long and with a minimum weight of 1.25 pounds per ...
