Incoming Correspondence

Arthur F. Seifert, Jr. PLS
RE: Monumentation Requirement
(February 1, 2007 - Facsimile)

Mr. Seifert wrote to the Board requesting the Board’s interpretation of the type of monuments that should be required on outbound corners and roadway geometry monumentation.

The Board will advise Mr. Seifert to refer to N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.11(j), (l), (n), and ( r) as well as N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.1(d)2, 7 and N.J.A.C. 13:40-7.5 for the specific types of monuments to be used.

Kerry Leberknight
RE: Question to the Board
(February 6, 2007 - Facsimile)

Mr. Leberknight wrote to the Board to determine whether a professional engineer is permitted to seal plans which locate monitoring wells on an existing site. He further states that it is not a plot or property plan, but simply the location of monitoring wells within a site that has been previously surveyed in the past.

The Board will inform Mr. Leberknight that monitoring wells are man-made topographical features, which is an item included under the definition of the practice of land surveying. Therefore, only a licensed land surveyor can locate monitoring wells.

Erich Aigner
RE: Use of World Education Services
(January 13, 2007)

Mr. Aigner wrote to the Board stating that he wants to apply to this State for PE licensure. He asks whether the Board would consider an evaluation previously conducted by the World Education Service (WES). He also asked if there is a temporary license issued in New Jersey.

The Board will inform Mr. Aigner to submit a PE application at which time the Board can review all his documentation and answer his questions. It will also inform him that the Board does not issue temporary licenses.
