865 IAC 1-12-21 Route survey fieldwork

Sec. 21. When conducting a route survey, a land surveyor shall do the following: (1) Establish the location of the control survey points upon which all subsequent work will be based so that they can be retraced and are recoverable by other surveyors without difficulty during and after construction. (2) Determine the location of the following: (A) Any lines or corners, or both, necessary to describe any acquisition parcels. (B) Any United States Public Land Survey subdivision corners that are available from the county surveyor or reasonably accessible and relevant to the route survey or acquisition parcels, or both. (3) Set any final monuments required by section 24 of this rule, and those required by the client. (4) Take sufficient check measurements to satisfactorily verify the work. (5) Keep survey field notes showing all pertinent information, measurements, and observations made in the field during the course of a survey in a manner that is clear to other land surveyors who may use the information so recorded. (6) Make necessary computations to substantiate correctness of field measurements.
