    Attachment 1A - Land Survey Specification rev June 2018 with addendum.pdf
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) outlines land survey specifications for easement programs in this document. It requires that professional land surveys be conducted by licensed surveyors and includes specifications for survey accuracy, methodologies, and documentation. Key aspects include conducting a presurvey visit with landowners to review boundaries, marking survey areas, and maintaining compliance with state and NRCS standards. The survey packages must include detailed descriptions of the easement area and access routes, with final submittals comprising plat maps and digital files that adhere to specific formats and standards. Importantly, the surveyor must not have any conflict of interest and must maintain confidentiality of sensitive information regarding the property surveyed. This document serves as a precise guideline essential for contractors bidding on or administering NRCS easement programs, reinforcing the program's standards for land conservation and responsible management.
    Attachment 1B - Land Survey ReEstablishment Specification rev June 2018.pdf
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides guidelines for the reestablishment of easement boundaries through a structured survey process. The reestablishment involves a legal survey conducted by a licensed surveyor, covering all necessary measurements, markings, and documentation per task orders. The process is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on preliminary survey submissions, and Phase II involves monumentation and boundary marking upon NRCS approval. Surveys must adhere to state regulations and NRCS specifications, with emphasis on accuracy and clarity in documentation. Additionally, surveys will involve engaging landowners and ensuring proper notice before fieldwork. Key deliverables include survey plats, legal descriptions, and electronic data for GIS use. The specifications also highlight the importance of confidentiality and address potential conflicts of interest by prohibiting surveyors from surveying properties in which they have a financial interest. The guidelines aim to ensure the integrity and recognizable demarcation of conservation easement boundaries, facilitating long-term land management and conservation efforts.
