Performing Surveys for Local Governments
and Non–Profit Organizations
Survey requirements for local government units and non–profit organizations are generally similar in scope to survey requirements for State land acquisitions. The primary differences are that the corner markers may be specified to be something other than concrete monuments, that intermediate line markers on lines longer than five hundred feet are not required (although they are recommended for monitoring purposes), and that agency notifications are not required.
Green Acres reviews all surveys for which its funding will be requested, and therefore, because of this funding participation and reimbursement to the local unit of up to one half of the survey cost, we are one of the Ultimate Users of these surveys. As in reviews for State land acquisitions, surveys for local governments and non–profits are reviewed against a checklist derived from the standard Scope of Land Surveying Services.
Green Acres checks for inconsistencies between plans, descriptions, and digital files, while assessing if the survey work reveals any title or land use problems that must be discussed with the local government or non–profit and resolved prior to releasing funds or participating in the acquisition in any manner.
