PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE DIVISION 8 - SURVEYING AND MAPPING REVISIONS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2006
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • CHAPTER 1, CALIFORNIA COORDINATE SYSTEM (Revised) • CHAPTER 2, TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPPING (No Change) • CHAPTER 3, GEODETIC DATUMS AND THE CALIFORNIA SPATIAL REFERENCE NETWORK (New) • CHAPTER 4, CALIFORNIA GEODETIC COORDINATES (New) • CHAPTER 5, CALIFORNIA ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHTS (New)
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • CHAPTER 1 California Coordinate System (Revised) • Deletes incorrect references to “geodetic positions” • Deletes portions that are covered in the new Chapter 3, “Geodetic Datums and the California Spatial Reference Network” • Reduces the number of required “reference” stations from two to one • If an accuracy is claimed for the CCS values, requires specific information to be shown and documented
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • CHAPTER 3 Geodetic Datums and the California Spatial Reference Network (New) • Establishes NAD83 as the official datum for horizontal positions and ellipsoid heights • Establishes NAVD88 as the official datum for orthometric heights (elevations) • Establishes the California Spatial Reference Network (CSRN) as the official “control” network • Defines the requirements for stations included in the CSRN; similar to the provisions defining the California Spatial Reference System - Horizontal in the previous CCS statutes
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • CHAPTER 4 California Geodetic Coordinates (New) • Establishes definitions and procedural requirements for certain geodetic surveys, similar to Chapter 1 (CCS) • Provides that positions conforming to the statutes may be identified as “California Geodetic Coordinates of 1983” (CGC83) • Specifies the documentation required for CGC83 surveys
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • CHAPTER 5 California Orthometric Heights (New) • Establishes definitions and procedural requirements for certain orthometric height surveys, similar to Chapter 1 (CCS) and Chapter 4 (CGC) • Provides that orthometric height values conforming to the statutes may be identified as “California Orthometric Heights of 1988” (COH88) • Specifies that the latest NGS “geoid model” shall be used when determining COH88 values from ellipsoid heights; permits the use of “local orthometric height correction” models • Specifies the documentation required for COH88 surveys
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE • Use of the new statutes is optional • Comments: Dick Davis (916) 227-7328 • Adrian_Davis@dot.ca.gov
