RS 8 - Distance of boundary points from station
No coordinate based on either Louisiana Coordinate System, purporting to define the position of a point, shall be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless such point is within five kilometers of a monumented horizontal control station established in conformity with the standards of accuracy and specification for first or second-order geodetic surveying as prepared and published by the Federal Geodetic Control Committee (FGCC) of the United States Department of Commerce. Standards and Specifications of the FGCC or its successors in force on date of said survey shall apply. The publishing of the existing control stations, or the acceptance with intent to publish the newly established control stations, by the National Ocean Service/National Geodetic Service will constitute evidence of adherence to the FGCC Specification. Above limitations may be modified by a duly authorized state agency, the Department of Transportation and Development, to meet local conditions.
