Meeting Notice – 2010 South Louisiana Survey Control Project
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is preparing a project that in a few weeks will re-observe a subset of the 330 survey control marks updated in the NGS 2006 Height Modernization project for South Louisiana (epoch 2006.81). The field portion of this project will be carried out by NGS contracted personnel and observations are due to start soon after Labor Day 2010. Along with this subset of marks, NGS is affording an opportunity to any interested parties to update additional marks and have them published in the NGS Integrated Data Base (IDB). The interested parties must collect their GPS data during the same time period as the NGS contractors, and gather the other related mark information (description, etc.). After providing this information to NGS, we will then perform the processing and adjustment portion of the control mark publishing process (Blue Booking). The NGS will be holding meetings in five cities across south Louisiana to let people know what we are doing and why, and what is required for someone to participate in this project. Meetings are planned for New Orleans, Houma, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Lake Charles.
