Our first day offers two half day sessions dealing with the past, present and considering how the future may affect surveying.

Morning Session (TN CER-1083-10): There are numerous occasions when easements are created without a definition of location or width.  A review of evidence and past court decisions offers tools with which to answer those questions.  The presentation will include a review of what is an easement, types of easements, creation and termination of easements, along with researching and locating them.

 Afternoon Session (TN CER-1083-10): Technology, practice and standards change,  usually becoming more detailed and stringent.  In evaluating past practice, and the evidence therefrom, there must be an understanding of how to compare yesterday’s work with today’s.  When things differ, or don’t seem to meet today’s requirements, what should be done will depend on the nature of the problem and the circumstances of the activities, based on the rules in effect.)

 

This full-day seminar (TN CER-1084-10) deals with the identification of burial sites on the ground and exploring the title documents to find title and rights in the site.  A field exercise is part of the seminar wherein participants will visit a local cemetery, locate it with GPS coordinates, photograph it, and evaluate the site from a surveying perspective. Each team will need a GPS unit and a digital camera.
