North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 21 - OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS › Chapter 56 - ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS › Section .1600 - STANDARDS OF PRACTICE FOR LAND SURVEYING IN NORTH CAROLINA › Section 56 .1605 - CLASSIFICATION OF VERTICAL CONTROL SURVEYS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General.
				Vertical control surveys are defined as measurements taken by surveying methods
				(differential leveling, trigonometric leveling, and global positioning surveys)
				to determine elevation with respect to vertical datum, usually National
				Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) or North American Vertical Datum of
				1988 (NAVD88). Global Position Surveys shall only be used to obtain Class C
				surveys. For the purpose of specifying minimum allowable surveying standards,
				the following three general classifications of vertical control surveys are
				established.
(1) For Class A vertical control
				surveys in North Carolina, the vertical error in feet shall not exceed 0.10
				times the square root of the number of miles run from the reference
				datum.
(2) For Class B vertical
				control surveys in North Carolina, the vertical error in feet shall not exceed
				0.20 times the square root of the number of miles run from the reference
				datum.
(3) For Class C vertical
				control surveys in North Carolina, the vertical error in feet shall not exceed
				0.30 times the square root of the number of miles run from the reference datum.
				The vertical error in global position surveys shall not exceed five centimeters
				relative to the referenced benchmark(s) at the 95 percent confidence level (2
				sigma) accuracy as defined in Federal Geographic Data Committee
				Standards.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General.
(1) "Topographic surveys" are defined as
				surveys that have as their major purpose the determination of the configuration
				(relief) of the earth (ground) and the location of natural or artificial
				objects thereon.
(2) "Planimetric
				mapping" is defined as producing a map that presents the horizontal positions
				only for the features represented. This is distinguished from a topographic map
				by the omission of relief in measurable form.
(3) "Airborne and spaceborne surveys" are
				defined as the use of photogrammetry, LIDAR, IFSAR, or other similar
				measurement technologies for obtaining reliable information about physical
				objects and the environment, including terrain surface, through the process of
				recording, measuring, and interpreting images and patterns of electromagnetic
				radiant energy and other phenomena. This Rule establishes minimum allowable
				photogrammetric production procedures and standards for photogrammetric mapping
				and digital data production.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General.
				Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is the generic name of navigation
				and positioning systems with global coverage that is comprised of GPS (Global
				Positioning System, United States, originally Navstar), GLONASS (Global
				Navigation Satellite System, Russia), Galileo (Europe), BDS (BeiDou Navigation
				Satellite System, China, also known as COMPASS), and any other satellite-based
				navigation and positioning systems that provide global coverage.
(b) The Professional Land Surveyor in
				responsible charge of the GPS survey shall certify all prepared documents. When
				a map or document consists of more than one sheet, only one sheet must contain
				the certificate and all others must be certified. The certificate or metadata
				notes shall contain the following information:
(1) Class of GPS survey as defined in the
				Standards of Practice (or list the sections);
(2) Type of GPS field procedure, such as
				Static, Kinematic, Pseudo-Kinematic, Real-time Kinematic, Real-time Kinematic
				networks, and Online Position User Service;
(3) Positional accuracy;
(4) Dates of survey;
(5) What datum and epoch coordinates or
				geographic positions are based on;
(6) Designation of fixed-control stations and
				their positional data;
(7) Geoid
				model used;
(8) Combined grid
				factor(s); and
(9) Units.
The certificate shall be substantially in the following
				  form:
"I, ____________________, certify that this map was drawn
				  under my supervision from an actual GPS survey made under my supervision and
				  the following information was used to perform the survey:
(1) Class of survey:
				_____________________________________________________
(2) Positional accuracy:
				_________________________________________________

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General: "Land Information
				System/Geographic Information System (LIS/GIS)" surveys are defined as the
				measurement of existing surface and subsurface features for the purpose of
				determining their accurate geospatial location for inclusion in an LIS/GIS
				database. All LIS/GIS surveys as they relate to property lines, rights-of-way,
				easements, subdivisions of land, the position for any survey monument or
				reference point, the determination of the configuration or contour of the
				earth's surface or the position of fixed objects thereon, and geodetic
				surveying that includes surveying for determination of the size and shape of
				the earth both horizontally and vertically and the precise positioning of
				points on the earth utilizing angular and linear measurements through spatially
				oriented spherical geometry, shall be performed by a Land Surveyor who is a
				licensee of this Board unless exempt by
				G.S.
				89C-25. For the purpose of specifying minimum
				allowable surveying standards, five general classifications of LIS/GIS surveys
				are established, any of which may be specified by the client. In the absence of
				a specified standard, the surveyor shall conform the survey to the requirements
				for a Class B survey.
(1) For horizontal
				accuracy, the five general classifications are:
(A) Class AA LIS/GIS Surveys. For Class AA
				LIS/GIS surveys in North Carolina, the relative accuracy shall be equal to or
				no less than 0.033 meter (0.10 feet);
(B) Class A LIS/GIS surveys. For Class A
				LIS/GIS surveys in North Carolina, the relative accuracy shall be equal to or
				less than 0.5 meter (1.64 feet);
(C) Class B LIS/GIS surveys. For Class B
				LIS/GIS surveys in North Carolina, the relative accuracy shall be equal to or
				less than 1.0 meter (3.28 feet);
(D) Class C LIS/GIS surveys. For Class C
				LIS/GIS surveys in North Carolina, the relative accuracy shall be equal to or
				less than 2 meters (6.56 feet); and
(E) Class D LIS/GIS surveys. For Class D
				LIS/GIS surveys in North Carolina, the relative accuracy shall be equal to or
				less than 5 meters (16.40 feet).
