The fundamental reason surveyors are in a regulated profession is because of one specific decision we make each time we do a boundary survey…what to do with the lack or over-abundance of corner evidence. A fast-moving course on the most difficult question in the profession. Covers statutory, administrative, and case law on the subject. Two presenters from different survey systems in the full day version allows additional comparison and contrast between PLSS and Colonial surveys. Audience participation is encouraged to help create a “checklist” of issues to be considered. Several real–world scenarios are discussed in detail.
