The evergreen State Surveyor is back!!! Thanks

to your Board of Directors and Mr. Ben Petersen

spearheading the effort, the LSAW’s legendary ev-

ergreen State Surveyor is here. A lot of thought has

been put into the effort. This is not a throwback for

old times’ sake. It was a deliberate decision to pro-

vide a hard copy print of the eSS to LSAW members.

The LSAW membership grew this last year. And it

appears we are more diverse than ever. Recognizing

the diversity, this is one of LSAW’s efforts to keep you

connected-in addition to the LSAW’s website, the

LSAW “blast” emails, NSPS News & Views, and your lo-

cal LSAW Chapter notices.

As our survey work starts to gear up for spring

weather and big summer projects, keep in mind the

year will go by fast. As your state President this year,

I hope that you’ll find time to attend your Chapter

meetings, discuss those issues important to you, pro-

vide feedback to the LSAW Committee Chairs, check

out the LSAW website, and pitch some favorite topics

and ideas to your new evergreen State Surveyor! n

Welcome to the new reborn ever-green State Surveyor magazine.

Yea, yea, I know you’ve heard this before. This magazine has been reborn so many times lately that they’re running out of anniversary cards at hallmark. This maga-zine was first born in 1978 and our mem-bers consistently got four issues a year. When the recession hit we had to go digi-tal to cut costs but Aaron Blaisdell and Chris Royak valiantly kept it going before running out of steam. But it’s been in a coma for the past year or so and was on the chopping block of your LSAW execu-tive Committee. Somehow I convinced enough members of your Board of Direc-tors (we used to call them Trustees) to keep it alive. Foolish me?

I am also very excited that we are going back to print. Something you can actually hold in your hands, pass on to someone else, leave in your office lobby for clients to read or lay down to protect the bottom of bird cage.

I truly believe this magazine is essential to our association. Its survival is impera-tive. For many who either can’t or won’t attend chapter meetings or our annual conference, it is often their only connec-tion to LSAW. In its prime, before there was an internet, it was one of my primary sources for keeping up on survey events

and changes in our profession. It alerted to me to upcoming laws, fee increases, seminars and conferences. More impor-tantly, I was amazed at the selfless dedica-tion of so many. The magazine was filled with the names of surveyors licensed or the hoping-to-be who continuously vol-unteered their time for the good of our profession. It inspired me to do the same.

how I got to be editor is another story.You know in the old Army movies when the captain lines everyone up and asks all volunteers for a suicide mission to step forward? And everyone except one dolt takes one step backwards? Well, you get the idea. I’ve stepped in until we find someone more qualified (that should be easy) and willing. That’s a little harder.

This first issue is not exactly what I wanted it to be. That takes time and I’m a little short on that commodity these days. I also didn’t have the advantage of the layout formats from our previous magazines so I’m essentially starting from scratch. Instead of a Carnival cruise, it will be a little more like a Kon-Tiki raft. It will get better. You’ll find this issue to be more informational than entertaining. I am try-ing to get our members some informa-tion that they have been sorely lacking for some time. Information about who’s who in our association and what the hell

are they doing. I can assure you that there are a lot of people working hard and ded-icating their time for you and our associa-tion. They don’t do it for the glory but let’s recognize them anyway. They can handle it and they deserve our thanks and ac-knowledgement.

I need help too. (Boy, do I ever.) help me out. Send me articles and photos. Write something. Let me make you famous. Surely you had an interesting survey proj-ect or opinion on something. Maybe you took a cool survey photo with your cell phone. Send it to me. Maybe you saw a great article in another State association magazine. Let me know. Maybe I can get permission to publish it. Obituaries? Yes, unfortunately. Do you need survey per-sonnel? You can advertise. encourage vendors you work with to advertise and tell them you saw their ad in the ever-green State Surveyor.

I am also open to comments regarding this magazine but keep them clean. I may publish them so any suggestions regard-ing self-procreation will only embarrass you, not me. This first issue, my first issue, admittedly won’t win any awards. I’m still getting up to speed and I am a reluctant editor but I promise you things will get

better. So off we go. enjoy! n

Are you Prepared for the national datum changes Planned for 2022?

Can you answer these six questions?1. What is the biggest problem with the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83)?

2. What organization is responsible for the development of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)?

3. Which geodetic measurement systems are used to compute ITRF solutions?

4. What is the approximate percentage of currently published 1st and 2nd-Order North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) bench marks will NGS likely use in the definition of the new vertical reference frame?

5. What are the names of the new reference systems that NGS has adopted?

6. how large are the expected horizontal position and orthometric height changes expected to be across the state of Washington?

every surveyor in the state who relies on the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data in the course of

their work should be able to answer these questions right off the top of their head. If you can’t, you better start getting up to speed. If everything goes as planned you only have about 3 years before NGS will pull the lever and replace both NAD 83 and NAVD 88.

The transitions from the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) to NAD 83 in 1986 and the National Geodetic Ver-tical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to NAVD 88 in 1991 had, in general a significant impact on only a modest number of federal, state, county/municipal and private surveying, map-ping and charting agencies and companies. That will be radically different this time. Owing to the widespread use of GNSS and Geographic Information System (GIS) technolo-gies, communities across the country and large numbers of other disciplines will be significantly impacted by these po-sitional changes. Those communities and other disciplines

will be depending on professional surveyors to guide them in the adoption of these new datums and management of their legacy data.

So can you answer the posed questions? If you can, then you are likely well prepared to meet the challenges that are coming. If not, then you should take all the classes you can to be informed on the subject. Start off by getting acquainted with NGSs’ New Datums web site - https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/datums/newdatums/index.shtml - and sign up for their e-mail notification service. Make sure that the annual LSAW conference features speakers explaining the rational for these changes, how you can predict the changes coming to your community, and strategies for implementation of those changes.

Now as for the answers to the six questions – take some time to see what you can find on line.

The answers are on page 19 of this magazine. n

Recent changes to WAC 332-130 Survey Standards

Editor’s Note: Recently we saw a lot of changes to WAC 332-130 that took effect January 13, 2019. A lot of surveyors are wonder-

ing why. Here’s the narrative (explanation?) from the Public Land Survey Office:

WAC 332-130 Revisions, Additions and Edits The proposed updates to the existing WAC are to revise cer-

tain references that are no longer valid, add some definitions and standards, and edit wording that was confusing and am-biguous.

A new section added to the index is, “Relative accuracy-stan-dards for land boundary surveys”.

332-130-020 Definitions • Item (7) “Measurement redundancy” was deleted and a

replacement definition titled “Redundant measurements” was inserted.

• Item (8) “NAD 83” was deleted. This is in preparation of the new NSRS datum in 2022.

• Item (9) “Parcel” was renumbered as (8)

• Item (10) “Survey Recording Act” was renumbered as (9)

• Item (11) “Washington Coordinate System” was renum-bered as (10), and “plane” was added to comply with the changes proposed for RCW 58.22

• New item (11) was added to define “Intelligent interpreta-tion”

• New item (12) was added to define “Relative accuracy”

• New item (13) was added to define “Relative precision”

• New item (14) was added to define “Controlling point or corner”

332-130-025 Corner Restoration• No change

332-130-030 Land Subdivision Standards • Item (4) the word “plane” was inserted in “Washington co-

ordinate system”

332-130-040 Land Description Guidelines • No changes

332-130-050 Survey Map Requirements • Item (3) altering, amending, changing, or correcting survey

information. The word “document” was deleted and “map, plat or plan” was inserted. This is to clear up confusion on the reference to document instead of map, plat or plan.

• Checklist: the third bullet concerning signatures under Leg-ibility has “date” added.

• Checklist: the first bullet, third checkbox concerning sur-veyor’s certificate has “date” added.

332-130-060 Local Geodetic Control • References to NAD 83 are removed, “pertinent” is removed,

and examples are removed.

332-130-070 Land Boundary Survey Standards

• Item (1) the wording is changes to provide better direction on procedures for determining accuracy.

• Item (2) “plane” was added to Washington coordinate sys-tem, “if pertinent” and “NAD83” were removed along with “CORS”.

332-130-080 Relative Accuracy-Principles

• No changes

332-130-085 Relative Accuracy Standards

• New section for relative accuracy standards

332-130-090 Field Traverse Standards • No changes

332-130-100 Equipment and Procedures

• Removed “10 second theodolite and calibrated chain”

• Changed “10 “to a “3” second theodolite.

• Added “total station or GNSS receiver”

• Added “scanning” and “GNSS based relative static or real time kinematic survey”

332-130-110 Closure And Redundancy • No change n

Tom has been an active LSAW member of the North Puget Sound Chapter since 1993, serving as Trustee from 2014-

2015 and chapter president since August of 2015. Tom’s phi-losophy for surveying is similar to that of a parent, teacher or outdoors person; leave things better than you found them. Tom was instrumental in bringing survey education to light for K-12 education programs in Washington when, as Chair of the State Section of ACSM, he first began to recruit and secure travel funds for teachers to attend CORSe (Council on Remote Sensing education) in Auburn, NY. That program eventually came west to Clark College and was renamed TWiST (Teach-ing with Spatial Technology), receiving continued support from LSAW and its leadership. Tom helped plan and run the Great Pacific Northwest GPS Seminar at Renton Technical Col-lege and was the Program Co-Chair of the Annual LSAW Con-ference (with The Western Federation of Professional Land Surveyors) in 2003. Tom has chaired the LSAW 2022 NATRF Datum Committee and been the Liaison to the WA DOL Board of Registration for Professional engineers and Land Surveyors since 2015.

Tom is the Chief Surveyor for the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department and grew up surveying in a survey-ing and engineering family. his father, uncle, brother and six cousins have all been involved in surveying including land development, platting, construction staking and monitoring. One of his fondest field memories is gathering river cross-sections on the Skykomish river full of salmon with his fellow surveyor, the late Dave elser.

Tom resides in Mukilteo, Washington with his wife of 24 years, Tina hogan and their two sons, Colin and Rory. For those that don’t know, Tom has a great affinity for good food, good wine and great stories. he finally won his Fantasy Football League Su-per Bowl championship this year after 25 years trying. Tom keeps trying until a solution is found!

Kevin has been an LSAW member since 2012 and

has been an instructor at Ya-kima Valley College for the past 10 years. he has taught CAD classes, Beginning Sur-vey and Advanced Survey classes within the engineer-ing Tech degree program at Yakima Valley College. Kevin is a regular presenter at the Cascade Columbia LSAW chapter meetings and has served as chapter Secretary, Treasurer, President and Trustee. Kevin is always quick to give his time and energy to a good cause. he was monumental in organizing the Cascade Colum-bia Chapter LSAW parade float at the 2017 Sun Fair Parade.

The main achievement that really stood out to the Cas-cade Columbia Chapter was Kevin’s effort in organizing and implementing a new Land Surveying program at Yakima Val-ley College that has steered quite a few students into a land surveying career. This year, he proposed to the college that they adopt a new curriculum for land surveying and add addi-tional courses with two more instructors to teach a structured land surveying curriculum. Kevin has also been working with the local business owners of surveying companies to set up a summer internship where students will spend up to 10 weeks with specific companies and earn additional college credits. This fall, Yakima Valley College is now in the first year of a new land surveying program and curriculum.

Kevin has a passion for land surveying as a whole. More im-portantly, he has a passion for helping others through self-lessly giving his time, knowledge and energy to others. n

NSPS Annual CompetitionCongratulations to the university of Akron for winning the Baccalaureate

Degree Division and the Central New Mexico Community College for their first place finishes in the National Society of Professional Surveyors’ (NSPS) 18th Annual Student Competition, held on April 11, 2019 as part of the 2019 NSPS Spring Meetings in Arlington, VA. The 2019 competition topic was “utilizing re-motely sensed data in a modern surveying practice”. each team completed a project, prepared a technical report & poster, and gave a formal presentation to a panel of judges. Thirteen schools with undergraduate degree programs in surveying, mapping or geomatics participated in this year’s competition. n

A delegation from among the NSPS executive Committee members were granted an audience last week with the White house Specialist handling infrastructure as part of the National economic Council which is tasked to lend expertise to the President. For the better part of an hour, the NSPS delegation discussed the surveying profes-sion’s vantage point on Infrastructure priorities with special emphasis on State and Local coordination with uSDOT.

Sino American International Survey Competition By all accounts, the competition was a great success in

highlighting the Surveying profession, and in building both organizational and personal relationships among the participants. Among the judges was LSAW member Jim Coan.

The teams representing NSPS and the Beijing Municipal Federation of Trade unions gathered at the host hotel on Tuesday 11/13/18 for the opening ceremonies, introduc-tions of the team members, and a presentation by repre-sentatives of local Trimble dealer Keystone Precision In-struments about the equipment to be used for the ‘field’ exercises portion of the competition.

On Wednesday 11/14/18, the teams traveled to the Na-tional Geodetic Survey (NGS) Testing and Training Center at Corbin, VA for the ‘field exercises’ portion of the competition and an introduction to the multifaceted activities under-taken at the Center. The ‘field exercises’ had been planned for Thursday 11/15/18 on the National Mall in Washington, DC but a predicted snow event (which came to pass) required the change in plans.

The “theoretical” portion of the competition was held on Thursday 11/15/18 at the host hotel with each member of both teams answering 50 multiple-choice questions which had been collectively selected by the judges from among a total 200 questions previously submitted by the respective team leaders.

Both the “field” and “theoretical” portions of the compe-tition were independently judged with the combined re-sult used to determine the overall winning team. The NSPS team won the “field” portion and the Chinese team won the “theoretical” portion. The comparison of the scores of the teams showed that the gap in the “theoretical” portion was greater than the gap in the “field” portion, resulting in the team from China being named the overall winner.

Among the most often heard reactions was the apprecia-tion for the opportunity to build bonds among the partici-pants representing both teams. The team leaders met on the final day to begin discussions about the continuation of the competition on some mutually agreeable plan for tim-ing and location. n

Among the judges was LSAW member and Past State

President Jim Coan.

Are you prepared for the national datum changes planned for 2022?

Anwers to questions on page 8 1. The major issue with NAD 83 is that the origin of coor-

dinates defined as earth-mass center in 1986 is biased to our best contemporary knowledge of earth geocenter by approximately 1.5 m (5 ft) for the conterminous united States. This can be seen by comparing the X,Y,Z earth-Centered earth-Fixed NAD 83 vs. ITRF coordinates for any Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) – for ex-ample Tacoma (ZSe1) equals 1.412 m (4.63 ft)

2. The International earth Rotation and Reference System Service (IeRS) headquartered in Paris, France is respon-sible for the computation of the ITRF, the most current be-ing ITRF14 which NGS will adopt for all CORS in the com-ing months. – https/www.iers.org

3. The IeRS uses data from four different geodetic measure-ment services to compute the ITRF – GNSS, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and Doppler Orbitography and Radio Positioning In-tegrated by Satellite (DORIS):GNSS – www.igs.org VLBI – https://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov SLR – https://ilrs.cddis.eosdis.nasa.govDORIS – https://ids-doris.org

4. Sort of a trick question – no bench marks will be used in the defining the new vertical datum, it will based exclu-sively on a combination of space-based, aircraft and ter-restrial high accuracy gravity observations.

5. The North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 (NATRF2022) will replace NAD 83 for the conterminous u.S. and Alaska, and the North American-Pacific Geopo-tential Datum of 2022 (NAPGD2022) will replace NAVD 88 and all of the various state and territory island vertical datums. There will also be separate horizontal/geometric systems for the Caribbean, Pacific and Marianas areas to replace NAD 83.

6. While the horizontal and vertical differences will vary slightly across the state of Washington, in general the dif-ferences in horizontal position, ellipsoid and orthomet-ric heights will be 1.48 m (4.9 ft), 0.36 m (1.2 ft) and 1.09 m (3.6 ft) respectively. Computing the approximate 3-d positional changes for anywhere in the country can be performed using the annual NGS xGeOID beta models – currently xGeOID18 -- https://beta.ngs.noaa.gov/GeOID/xGeOID18/ n

Providing Resources to Benefit State AssociationsWFPS is dedicated to providing resources to state associations. Following are a few of the resourcesthat are available:

1. Speakers Bureau

2. Article Bank for Association Magazines

3. STEM Outreach Flyer

4. Elevator Pitch

Sample Elevator PitchWe’re really good at math and measuring. We use light beams, satellites and drones. You know that GPS in your car or phone?

Well, that’s accurate to about 10 feet. Good enough to get you to a restaurant or home Depot. The stuff we use? We’re talking mil-limeters - about the thickness of a dime. Did you know there’s four faces on Mt. Rushmore and three of them are surveyors. The other guy started the Panama Canal and got teddy bears named after him. We also show you the limits of what is probably the most expensive thing you will ever own – your property - so you stay friendly with your neighbor and out of court. And when you make your fortune, and that ship pulls into harbor with your new jet-black BMW? Well, we surveyed the sea floor to make sure it doesn’t bottom out. You know those steep curves on the NASCAR tracks? A surveyor laid those out …. just right so the cars don’t jump over the top. Well, sometimes they do anyway! And when you get back from your Caribbean cruise, and it’s been pouring rain and your plane lands at 200 miles per hour at (name of airport)? You know why you don’t skid off the runway and make the 11 o’clock news? Because we banked the runway so the water runs off. We saved your life. You’re welcome.

Serving as a Regional VoiceWFPS has adopted a resolution to support Quality Based Selection (QBS). The resolution is attached for your use. Should your

state need a letter of support from WFPS regarding a QBS issue please contact the WFPS Office [email protected].

WFPS reviewed the Amicus Brief to the Louisiana Supreme Court in the case of Crooks vs. the State prepared by NSPS and made a motion in support of the effort to the reconsideration of the court ruling.

Clair passed away peacefully on March 19, 2019 in La Conner,

WA. Born in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, he moved with his family to Belling-ham, Washington when he was just a boy. He joined the National Guard at age 15 and served in the both the US Army and Navy during World War II.

He started his survey career in the oil fields of California and at WSDOT helped survey I-5. A resident of Skagit County since 1954, he became professionally licensed in 1966 and founded Skagit Surveyors in the 1970’s. At age 94 he was named “Honorary Surveyor of the Year” by his local chapter of the LSAW. Clair ran a straight line. n

Bob was still finishing some final surveying projects, just months be-fore his passing. He was an active member of LSAW and the oldest still practicing surveyor in the state. He ran a straight line. n

Paul W. P. Tomkins, WA PLS #258931952 – 2019

Paul from Walla Walla passed away af-ter a quick and fierce battle with Acute

Lymphoblastic Leukemia on April 11, 2019. He was born in Kent, England. The precision, mathematics, outdoor discovery, community participation and intellectual nature of land surveying kept him fasci-

nated and in the field for 45 years. During his long and active surveying career, he came to know the land and the people of the PNW intimately. He was passionate about his profession, his work crews and impact in the communities he worked. He was an active participant in the South Central chapter and served on the LSAW Board of Trustees. His passion, dedication, humor and spontaneity will be remembered and cherished. He truly ran a straight line. n
