PLSS RESTORATION TECH. & ITS AFFECTS ON CADASTRAL
DATA
Presented by Preston Dowell and Robin Mathews
The original Public Land Survey System (PLSS) of Minnesota was completed in the early
1900’s. Since that time, properties have transferred ownership countless times and
countless maps have been developed to represent land status. Unfortunately, the PLSS
corners on which all of this information was dependent have been destroyed and/or
neglected. This session will explore PLSS corner evidence search and restoration
techniques and will also explore the affects the PLSS has on the cadastral data that you
think you know and understand.

TICK-BORNE DISEASES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Presented by Elizabeth Schiffman
The world of tick-borne disease in Minnesota is dynamic, and while many people are
familiar with the basics, there’s a lot more to it than just Lyme disease. New pathogens,
increasing incidence and expanding risk are changing the way that we look at tick-borne
disease, and providing new opportunities for understanding this exciting field. This
presentation will touch on the biology and ecology of tick-borne disease, discuss disease
transmission and risk and highlight some of the prevention measures that people can take
to prevent tick-borne disease.

EIGHTEEN MILES OF SECTION CORNERS Presented by Dan Drusch and Thomas Harper This session discusses some of the work done by the DOT, the DNR and White Earth Tribe to recover or re-establish all the PLS corners needed to prepare right of way plats along an 18 mile corridor of Trunk Highway 200 in Mahnomen County. The current width varies
between prescriptive rights, 33 feet, 50 feet, and “various”. Additional right of way width will be needed in many locations in order to add full width shoulders along with ditch slopes meeting current design guidelines as part of a safety improvement project. Before right of way plats can be prepared, Certificates of Location of Government corners need to be recorded by the county or accepted by the White Earth Tribal government. Dan Drusch – Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Dan Drusch is a licensed Land Surveyor in the State of Minnesota and has worked for the DNR’s Division of Lands & Minerals for almost 18 years, currently working out of the Bemidji office.

He later moved to Detroit Lakes where he is now the Principal Land Surveyor for District 4. EMERGENCY SURVEYING: INVESTIGATION OF THE WABASHA STREET BLUFF FAILURE Presented by Sam Gibson On Saturday April 28th, 2018 at approximately 3:30pm, a rock slide occurred without warning and closed Wabasha Street in St. Paul, Minnesota. Despite happening in the middle of the afternoon in a dense urban environment, there were no injuries. The area was deemed unsafe and closed to the public until the site could be assessed by engineers and a plan to clean up and stabilize the bluff could be prepared. The City of St. Paul Surveyor’s Office along with Collin’s Engineers and Barr Engineering, coordinated to provide UAS based aerial imagery, terrestrial LiDAR point clouds, 3D models and traditional survey products, to expediently represent the site conditions for decision makers. This presentation will review the technical challenges and constraints presented by this project and provide multiple observations and lessons learned in the process of utilizing advanced technology to meet the rapidly evolving needs of this ‘emergency’ project. Sam Gibson – City of St. Paul Sam Gibson PLS, received his initial instruction in surveying at the Inter-Service Engineering School at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He received an Associate’s Degree in Construction Technology from the Community College of the Air Force, and his Bachelor’s Degree from University of Northern Iowa.
He has held a variety of surveying positions in Iowa and Minnesota in both the private and public sectors. He was licensed as a Land Surveyor in the State of Minnesota in 2006 and has been Chief Surveyor for the City of Saint Paul since 2007. He is an adjunct instructor in Land Surveying for Dakota County Technical College, and since 2016 has led the St Paul Public Works Survey and GIS Division. ENSURING ACCURACY IN YOUR DRONE SURVEY Whirrx will share their years of Surveying, Photogrammetry, and Drone experiences with the class. They will cover everything from getting your Part 107 FAA License, to picking the right drone for the right job, to correctly verifying drone data accuracy. The class will go away with a much better understanding of Drone Use in Surveying & Engineering Description coming soon. Steve Zeets – Whirrx Steve started his career after college as a rodman on a 3-man survey crew and is now a licensed Land Surveyor in Iowa. His 20+ years’ experience in Surveying, GIS, IT, and Photogrammetry led him to start using drones in 2011. He co-founded his first drone company in 2014 to provide mapping services with drones. He flew over 2,000 mapping missions for clients using drones to survey. Currently, he is the CEO and founder of Whirrx; which provides a turn-key system to surveyors so they can use drones as a tool for surveying, even when vertical accuracy of 0.05ft is required on road projects. ETHICS Presented by Joshua Root This session will include a review of the professional obligations for surveyors and anyone who interacts with those professionals. We will examine the relevance of ethics in today’s society, provide statutory requirements and review salient case studies from recent events to highlight the importance of understanding the obligations required by state law and professional codes of conduct. Joshua Root – Minnesota Department of Transportation Josh is Senior Legal Counsel in MnDOT’s office of Chief Counsel. Josh’s practice focuses on litigation management, emerging technology, and data privacy matters.

Josh is a regular contributor to the Sedona Conference Working Group 1 as well as the Transportation Research Board’s committee on tort liability. EVALUATION OF CORNER EVIDENCE: ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION OF LOCAL CORNERS Presented by Ken Roy (Biography Reference: Computations for the Restoration of Lost Corners) This course will reinforce the principles that will assist you in evaluating PLSS corner evidence for its ability to serve as proof of a corner point and apply those principles of evidence to allow you to determine whether a corner point should be classified as existent, obliterated, or lost, and understand how and why these terms are used.
FINDING TRACKS, MAPS & PLATS Presented by Jay Krafthefer At its peak there were over 9,000 miles of railroad in Minnesota. For a comparison, MnDOT currently manages 12,000 miles of highway. As you would expect, railroad property is often in close proximity with highway right-of-way. The potential impact to surveys of private property is significant when considering the extent of land adjoining railroads and highway right of way. Over the past 100 years MnDOT has acquired a sizeable collection of railroad maps and property records to perform its work. Right of Way Mapping & Monitoring (RWMM) is a web application created by MnDOT to access highway right-of-way maps statewide. A lesser known feature of RWMM is its direct access to over 4,000 historic railroad maps. This session will cover some of the history of these railroad maps, look at different types of maps, provide an explanation of their organization for easier finding, and examine some of their unique features to help determine their potential for your survey. There will be a brief review of the tools used to find and download these historic records.

GNSS RTK BEST PRACTICES Presented by Tim Kerr During this session we examine some of the documented best practices for surveying with RTK. These are well established and vary a bit from one to the next but do provide a reasonable standard. As we move forward with the GNSS modernization, the addition of more satellites in the newer constellations as well as additional signal sources provide many advantages. We are often able to achieve better results in more difficult locations than in the past. Further, we are seeing faster acquisition of the satellites and resolution of the ambiguities which lead to more productivity in the field. Tilt sensors now permit more productivity in the data acquisition without sacrifice in precision. With all the advances, we may need to challenge the best practices moving forward.

PREPARING A SURVEY PROJECT WITH TRIMBLE BUSINESS CENTER Presented by Jay Haskamp and Dylan Jones The survey industry is caught in an endless time crunch. Far too often we receive calls of "can you be there tomorrow" before the ink is dry on the contract - a contract that was negotiated with incomplete or insufficient information. From the word "go", your budget begins to erode with the rush to get field personnel on the project, more than likely with incomplete or insufficient information. But what if the tool to avoid the stress and budget losses was hiding in plain site on your PC? What if you could quickly compile all of your client provided data, as well as those from public and free data sources? Trimble Business Center has the tools you need to make informed decisions and ensure the success of your survey project. Over the past five years Trimble Business Center has evolved into a software that can function as a hub for survey operations. There are plethora of functions and features within the software, but many users struggle to use these functions and features in unison to harness the true potential of the most powerful geospatial software platform in the industry.
