Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 43 - NATURAL RESOURCES › Part XXVII - State Lands › Subpart 1 - Land Information Mapping and Map Records System › Chapter 19 - Map Features › Section XXVII-1907 - Linear Patterns

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. All linear
				  patterns shall have a pattern angle of 90 degrees with respect to the line
				  string or curve string represented. Lines digitized for linear patterning
				  comprised of several elements (e.g., lines and curves) shall be created as
				  connected strings. A connected string is a complex element comprised of single
				  elements with common junction coordinates.
B. Pattern interval (PI) is the map distance
				  separating repetitive pattern elements at a standard pattern scale (PS) of 1.00
				  for 1" = 50' scale maps as defined for each respective feature element. Pattern
				  intervals shall vary inversely for other mapping scales (i.e., PS = 0.50 for 1"
				  = 100' scale maps, PS = 0.25 for 1" = 200' scale maps, and PS = 0.125 for 1" =
				  400' scale maps). Thus, a specified pattern interval of 0.80" at the 1" = 50'
				  scale would be plotted 0.40" at 1" = 100' scale, 0.20" at 1" = 200' scale, and
				  0.10" at 1" = 400' scale.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. All cells,
				  except as noted, are shown at actual size (AS) at an object scale (OS) of 1.00
				  for 1" = 50' scale maps as defined for each respective cell element. Cells
				  shall be scaled inversely proportional for other mapping scales (i.e., OS =
				  0.50 for 1" = 100' scale maps, OS = 0.25 for 1" = 200' scale maps, and OS =
				  0.125 for 1" = 400' scale maps). Thus, a specified cell size of 0.40 inches at
				  the 1" = 50' scale would be plotted 0.20 inches at 1" = 100' scale, 0.10 inches
				  at 1" = 200' scale, and 0.05 inches at 1" = 400' scale. All cells for point
				  features are point cells and shall have center origins. All cells, except as
				  noted, shall be placed horizontal relative to the bottom map margin.
B. Relatively small features such as
				  manholes, catch basins, power poles and related objects shall be shown at a
				  minimum exaggerated size as necessary to provide satisfactory visual
				  interpretation on hard copy manuscript maps. The outside edges of all
				  photo-identifiable features having dimensions in excess of the minimum size
				  specified shall be digitized to actual scale in order to properly depict the
				  relative size and configuration of the feature.

				  scale.
B. All annotation text for
				  point features and area features shall be placed horizontal relative to the
				  bottom map margin and shall have the text justification point close to the
				  feature. Annotation text for linear features shall be orientated along the
				  feature.
C. Constrained text
				  annotation such as roadway labels between street blocks on relatively small
				  scale maps may be appropriately reduced where necessary to avoid conflict with
				  adjacent features.

				  Pursuant to

				  Chapter). The state trustees shall determine the scope of participation by the

				  Responsible parties may assist the state trustees in the identification of

				  to unauthorized discharges of oil, and in identifying personnel and
				  organizations likely to participate in response and assessment activities, with
				  appropriate quality control.

				  lead administrative trustees shall invite the potentially responsible party to
				  participate in the assessment process, the field investigation, the selection
				  of assessment methods, restoration planning, and post-assessment activities.
				  The invitation to participate should be in writing, and a written response by

				  responsible party elects to participate in any part of the assessment process,
				  the state trustees and the responsible party should enter into a written
				  agreement whereby the conditions of their respective participation are defined,
				  including provisions to have a state trustee representative present when the
				  responsible party conducts any activity pertinent to a cooperative NRDA
				  process, and whereby they agree to provide data acquired to the state trustees
				  as described in Subsection B below. This agreement may be drafted concurrently
