land surveys in conformance with recognized standards of practice and relevant

laws and administrative codes in order to safeguard life, health, and property; and

E WHEREAS the parties to the Agreement agree to the following Principles of

Agreement

IIPRINCIPLES OF AGREEMENT

A The practice of land surveying performed by WSDOT employees shall be under

the direct supervision of a licensed professional land surveyor OR licensed

professional engineer Said licensee shall hold a valid Washington license issued

in conformance with RCW 18.43

B All surveys performed by WSDOT employees shall be performed in accordance

with the Survey Standards promulgated under Chapter 332-130 WAC

C When a survey has been performed by WSDOT employees a survey map

shall be prepared and filed with the county engineer in compliance with

RCW 58.09.090(1)(a) Said map’s contents shall be in conformance with the

requirements of RCW 58.09.060 and WAC 332-130 Furthermore, said map shall

contain the stamp and signature of the licensee who was in direct responsible

charge of the work

Interagency Agreement Figure 1440-1b

D A record of corner information shall be filed in accordance with RCW 58.09.040(2)

and 58.09.090(2) where WSDOT employees replace or restore an existing or

obliterated general land office corner Said record of corner information shall be

signed and stamped by the professional land surveyor or professional engineer

responsible for said work

E The temporary removal or destruction of any section corner or any other land

boundary mark or monument shall be permitted if performed in compliance with

RCW 58.24.040(8)

F Whether performed by a licensed professional engineer or a licensed professional

land surveyor, any surveys performed by WSDOT shall be in accordance with the

standards generally expected of those practicing professional land surveying

Board of Registration have signed this Agreement

Design Manual Monumentation

Proper monumentation is important in

referenc-ing a highway’s alignment that is used to define

its right of way and the department can contribute

to the body of public records and minimize

duplication of survey work by establishing and

recording monuments that are tied to a state plane

and to a standard vertical datum In addition, the

department is required by law to perpetuate

existing recorded monuments (See RCW 58.09.)

Consequently, the department shall provide

monuments for realignments and new highway

alignments and shall perpetuate existing

monu-ments impacted by a project

Both the Department of Natural Resources

(DNR) and the Geographic Services Branch

maintain records of surveys performed and

survey monuments established New monuments

are to be reported to both operations

Existing monuments are not to be disturbed

without first obtaining the DNR permits required

by state law DNR allows the temporary covering

of a string of monuments under a single permit

State law requires replacement of land boundary

monuments after temporary removal according to

permit procedures WSDOT control and

align-ment monualign-ments may be removed without

replacement if approved by the Geographic

Services Branch (Notify DNR.)

Other requirements pertaining to specific

monuments are discussed below

Figure 1450-1 summarizes the documentation

requirements for new and existing monuments

The region is responsible for obtaining allrequired permits before any existing monument

is disturbed and for the research to locate existingmonuments as required by WAC 332-120-030

to adequately search the records and the physical area of the proposed construction work or other activity for the purpose of locating and referencing any known or existing survey monuments.

of curvature (P.C.), a point of tangency (P.T.), aproperty corner, a section corner, a General LandOffice (GLO) survey point, a Bureau of Land

Design Manual Fencing

Where the anticipated or existing right of wayline has abrupt irregularities over short distances,coordinate with Maintenance and Real EstateServices personnel to dispose of the irregularities

as excess property, where possible, and fence thefinal property line in a manner that is acceptable

to Maintenance

Where possible, preserve the natural assets ofthe surrounding area and minimize the number

of fence types on any particular project

(2) Limited Access Highways

On highways with limited access control, fencing

is mandatory unless it has been established thatsuch fencing may be deferred Fencing isrequired between frontage roads and adjacentparking or pedestrian areas (such as at rest areasand flyer stops) and highway lanes or rampsunless other barriers are used to discourageaccess violations

On new alignment in rural areas, fencing is notprovided for the outside line of a frontage roadunless the abutting property was enclosed prior tohighway construction Such fencing is normallypart of the right of way negotiation

Unless there is a possibility of access controlviolation, fencing installation may be deferreduntil needed at the following locations (When

in doubt, consult the Olympia Service CenterAccess and Hearings Engineer.)

• Areas where rough topography or densevegetation provides a natural barrier

• Along rivers or other natural bodies of water

• In sagebrush country that is sparsely settled

• In areas with high snowfall levels and sparsepopulation

• On long sections of undeveloped public orprivate lands not previously fenced

Fencing is provided primarily to discourage

encroachment onto the Washington State

Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT’s)

highway right of way from adjacent property

and to delineate the right of way It is also used

to replace fencing that has been disrupted by

construction and to discourage encroachment

onto adjacent property from the highway right

of way

The reason for discouraging encroachment onto

the right of way is to limit the presence of people

and animals that might disrupt the efficient flow

of traffic on the facility Fencing along the

highway is not intended to be protection for

people or animals approaching the highway or

residing near it

(1) General

Fencing on a continuous alignment has a pleasing

appearance and is most economical to construct

and maintain The recommended practice is to

locate fencing to coincide with the final right of

way line
