(a)
For purposes of more precisely defining the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, the following definition by the National Geodetic Survey is adopted:
(1)
(A)
The Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, North Zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), having standard parallels at north latitudes of thirty-four degrees fifty-six minutes (34° 56' north) and thirty-six degrees fourteen minutes (36° 14' north), along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
(B)
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian ninety-two degrees zero minutes west of Greenwich (92° 00' west) and the parallel thirty-four degrees twenty minutes north latitude (34° 20' north). This origin is given the coordinates: East equals four hundred thousand meters (400,000 m.) and north equals zero meters (0.0 m.); and
(2)
(A)
The Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, South Zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), having standard parallels at north latitudes of thirty-three degrees eighteen minutes (33° 18' north) and thirty-four degrees forty minutes (34° 40' north), along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
(B)
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian ninety-two degrees zero minutes west of Greenwich (92° 0' west) and the parallel thirty-two degrees forty minutes north latitude (32° 40' north). This origin is given the coordinates: East equals four hundred thousand meters (400,000 m.) and north equals four hundred thousand meters (400,000 m.).
(b)
The position of Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 shall be marked on the ground by triangulation or traverse stations established in conformity with standards adopted by the National Geodetic Survey for first-order and second-order work, whose geodetic positions have been rigidly adjusted on the North American Datum of 1983 and whose coordinates have been computed on the system herein defined. Any such station may be used for establishing a survey connection with the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983.

(a)
It is recognized and declared, as a matter of legislative determination, that the public welfare of this state requires the cooperation of this state with other states and with the federal government in the accomplishment of the policy and purposes declared by the United States Congress in § 7(a) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act,
16 U.S.C. § 590g(a)
. Those policies and purposes are:
(1)
Preservation and improvement of soil fertility;
(2)
Promotion of the economic use and conservation of land;
(3)
Diminution of exploitation and wasteful and unscientific use of national soil resources;
(4)
The protection of rivers and harbors against the results of soil erosion in aid of maintaining the navigability of waters and water courses and in aid of flood control; and
(5)
(A)
Reestablishment, at as rapid a rate as the United States Secretary of Agriculture determines to be practicable and in the general public interest of the ratio between the purchasing power of the net income per person on farms and that of the income per person not on farms that prevailed during the five-year period August 1909 - July 1914, inclusive, as determined from statistics available in the United States Department of Agriculture, and the maintenance of such a ratio.
(B)
The powers conferred under §§ 7-14, inclusive, of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act,
16 U.S.C. §§ 590g-590n
, shall be used to assist voluntary action calculated to effectuate the purposes specified in this section. Such powers shall not be used to discourage the production of supplies of foods and fibers sufficient to maintain normal domestic human consumption as determined by the United States Secretary of Agriculture from the records of domestic human consumption in the years 1920-1929, inclusive, taking into consideration increased population, quantities of any commodity that were forced into domestic consumption by decline in exports during such a period, current trends in domestic consumption and exports of particular commodities, and the quantities of substitutes available for domestic consumption within any general class of food commodities.
(C)
In carrying out the purposes of this section, due regard shall be given to the maintenance of a continuous and stable supply of agricultural commodities adequate to meet consumer demand at prices fair both to producers and consumers.
(b)
The State of Arkansas therefore adopts the policy of cooperating with the governments and agencies of other states and of the United States in the accomplishment of the policy and purposes of § 7 of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act,
16 U.S.C. § 590g
, and accepts the provisions and requirements thereof.

(a)
In recognition that a vast majority of all information used in the management of government can be spatially referenced and that public institutions and private firms expend considerable resources collecting and managing land information records in diverse and disparate formats and scales, a modern automated system of accessible land information data and technologies is required to serve the essential needs of individuals, businesses, and government agencies.
(b)
The essential component of all automated land information systems is valid, consistent, comprehensive, available, and current data. Since federal, state, regional, county, and municipal agencies, state universities and colleges, private firms, and others require the same spatial data, it is desirable that unnecessary duplication of effort be avoided, that existing data be shared in a coordinated manner, and that new data be developed in an accurate and usable form in accordance with the State of Arkansas Enterprise Architecture. Pursuant to this, all state agencies, boards, and commissions are required to cooperate and participate with the Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Board.
(c)
Implementation of an overall Arkansas land and geographic resources program requires cooperative methods for development and maintenance of spatial data between state and local governments in the State of Arkansas.
(d)
The board will determine, define, and implement short-term and long-term strategies that will result in improved decision making, effective asset management, and reduced costs for the citizens of Arkansas.

It is found and determined by the General Assembly that:
(1)
Earthquake activity in Arkansas has never been closely monitored by a local network of seismic stations and that the realistic assessment of seismic hazards in this state can only be accomplished by long-term local monitoring of earthquake activity in this state;
(2)
Although the monitoring systems operated by St. Louis University and the Center for Earthquake Research and Information at the University of Memphis have provided a great deal of information for risk assessment in the New Madrid seismic zone, the need for monitoring within Arkansas has become apparent;
(3)
It would be most beneficial to the residents of this state for a collaborative program to be established between St. Louis University, the University of Memphis, and the Arkansas Center for Earthquake Education and Technology Transfer at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in order to coordinate efforts and prevent duplication;
(4)
The Arkansas Center for Earthquake Education and Technology Transfer is ideally located to handle the logistics of installing and maintaining a network of seismic monitoring stations within this state and is committed to offering the necessary personnel and facilities to efficiently handle the undertaking; and
(5)
The focus will be on establishing long-term, continuous monitoring of earthquake activity in Arkansas in order to provide reliable data for a realistic seismic hazard assessment, and it is the intent of this subchapter to accomplish that purpose.
