ATTACHMENT NO. 1

LOCATION SURVEYS

I. GENERAL

Location surveys shall be performed for the purpose of gathering data necessary for use in location, design and construction of proposed highway projects. The location survey shall measure the position of existing features on the ground and provide the position of basic horizontal and vertical control points to be used during construction of proposed project. All surveying shall be performed in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration “Surveying and Mapping Manual” dated November, 1985, except as noted herein.

All location survey work will be performed under the direct supervision of a registered land surveyor and sealed by a registered land surveyor in the State of Alabama. The CONSULTANT shall verify all data supplied by the State Department of Transportation, HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “STATE”, and/or any other source and shall be fully responsible for accuracy of work developed from such data.

II. BASIC CONTROL SURVEY 1. The CONSULTANT shall mobilize on said project a three, four or five-man survey party

as directed by the STATE with all necessary equipment and vehicles in order to complete each phase of work.

2. The CONSULTANT shall determine and contact all adjacent property owners throughout the length of said project prior to beginning any survey work. Every effort will be made to contact each property owner in person; however, in some circumstances telephone contact shall be acceptable in the event said property owners do not reside on affected properties. The CONSULTANT will use the attached Property Owner Contact form and a completed copy for each property owner will be provided to the STATE.

• See Example “A” for sample letter to Property Owner (0).

3. Unless control is provided by the STATE, a basic horizontal and vertical control survey shall be performed by the CONSULTANT to locate and identify horizontal and vertical control points which shall be the basis for all subsequent surveys. The basic control survey shall consist of a random traverse with distance and angles measured. The control survey shall preferably coincide with the proposed project construction centerline if available.

4. All basic control surveys will originate and close on first order, or better, Global Positioning System (GPS) monuments tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) unless otherwise specified by the STATE. The CONSULTANT will establish the necessary monuments using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques as specified in the "Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for Using GPS Relative Positioning Techniques, Version 5.0, dated May, 1988, published by the Federal Geodetic Control Committee or the latest version thereof. All horizontal survey control points shall be established to meet Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee Standards for

Page 1 of 61

Order C 2-I accuracy. If closure requirements are not met, sufficient additional surveying shall be performed by the CONSULTANT to meet specification requirements.

5. Ground horizontal control traverses will be second order, Class II accuracy or better. Spur and offset points, as well as secondary traverse loops, shall adhere to the same accuracy. Ground control traverses are to be closed, corrected, and balanced on GPS control monuments at no more than two (2) mile intervals or as approved by the STATE. Control points with coordinates and elevations will be established at no more than 1000 foot intervals along the project. Semi-permanent monuments will be used (reinforcing bars with metal caps or better) and will be of suitable and durable character to ensure long-term use. Refer to FGCC "Standards and Specifications for Geodetic Control Networks- 1984" Chapter 2.1 Horizontal Control, for closures, and Chapter 3.3 for Traverse procedures.

6. Unless otherwise specified by the STATE, the CONSULTANT will use NAD83 (2007) datum for horizontal control and NAVD88 (based upon latest Geoid) for vertical control. Since these surveys originate and terminate at points with datum adjusted Alabama State Plane Coordinates, all computed coordinates will be datum adjusted NAD83(2007) Alabama State Plane Coordinates, U.S. Survey Foot, East or West Zone. No further datum adjustment is required.

7. Bench marks will be set and check levels run before they are used for development of the DTM. Third order accuracy shall be obtained before adjustments are made. Check level calculations shall be shown in the notes of the field book or files. Leveling will consist of conventional loops beginning and ending on Second Order, Class II benchmarks or better unless otherwise specified by the STATE. Bench Marks shall be set at least every 1,000 ft along the survey and near all major structure sites and major intersections. All Bench Marks will be permanent in nature and are to be fully described.

8. Assumed datums or the use of GPS to establish vertical control will be used ONLY when authorized by the STATE.

9. Horizontal Control Points and Benchmarks will be included and annotated in the final digital survey files along with separate text file listings for each.

10. The CONSULTANT will furnish the STATE field notes, sketches, and adequate descriptions of the control traverses or control points in the form of a control report. The control report will be submitted with the digital files to the STATE for review. Unless otherwise specified by the STATE, no other field work will commence until the project control has been reviewed and accepted by the STATE. The report will include but not be limited to control schematics, control descriptions, computer closure printouts and how to reach descriptions. Computer closure printouts will include raw, unadjusted angular and linear closures. A printout showing closure results of balanced angles and distances will also be submitted. All reports, sketches and descriptions will be delivered as hard copy and in Microsoft Word Document files.

III. PROJECT ALIGNMENT AND PROFILE

1. When requested, the CONSULTANT shall establish, by ground survey, the proposed project centerline stationing and stake all curves. Ground profiles for project centerline shall be obtained at intervals not to exceed 100’ and at all significant breaks in the ground-line.

of 61

2. Stationing established by the CONSULTANT on highways will be stationed at 100’ intervals and will be shown in the direction of increasing log mile. If log miles are not available, stationing will be shown from South to North on odd numbered routes and from West to East on even numbered routes. Routes tied to the survey on which no mile posts are available shall be stationed from left to right in relation to the main centerline of the survey.

3. Stationing shall always begin with a station large enough to avoid any minus stations if the survey is backed up for additional information. Cross roads shall be stationed left to right looking forward along the alignment, or as specified by the STATE.

4. Iron pins, spikes, nails or other material that can be located with a metal detector shall be used for all P.I’s, P.C’s, P.T.’s, P.O.T.’s, P.O.C.’s, and any other critical alignment point. All alignment points in cultivated fields shall be buried below the depth of cultivation and all points in yards or pastures shall be driven flush with the ground. All critical alignment points set will be referenced by the CONSULTANT. All reference points will be recorded and provided in the final Field Map. Angle ties from curves shall be made tangent to curve and not to sub-tangents.

IV. FIELD SURVEYS AND DATA COLLECTION

1. All survey data shall be collected in 3D (X Y Z) format in such a manner that automatically connects all individual lines and automates labeling. To conserve space and time during field operations, certain approved standard abbreviations are acceptable and shall be observed by the survey party unless long hand spelling is preferred. Attached hereto and made a part hereof are the following guides:

• Location Survey Point Codes (Pages 11-15). • Survey Level Structure & Content (Pages 16-19). • Approved Standard Abbreviations (Pages 20-29). • Standard Linetype Chart (0).

2. Information shall be gathered by the CONSULTANT on all paved crossroads and railroads

to a minimum distance of 1000’ each way from project centerline unless otherwise instructed by the STATE. Unpaved county roads shall be gathered a minimum distance of 500’ each way from project centerline unless otherwise instructed by the STATE.

3. Sufficient data will be collected to produce a 3-dimensional Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the project area. The DTM accuracy will meet the requirements necessary to support the design of the project. Pavement elevations, bridge elevations, railroad rails, and drainage structures will be collected to the nearest hundredth of a foot (0.01’). Ground elevations and trivial topo features will be collected to the nearest tenth of a foot (0.1’) unless otherwise specified by the STATE.

• See Example “B” entitled Drawing Breaklines-Manual Information (Pages31-32).

4. DTM shots shall be obtained by the CONSULTANT at intervals not to exceed 100’ and at all significant ground line breakpoints with supplemental shots and break lines to define highs, lows, and breaks.

Page 3 of 61

5. DTM shots shall be extended 50’ beyond proposed right-of-way and/or approximately 100’ beyond proposed construction limits in heavy cut or fill areas and shall be extended to include or cover the entire area of proposed interchanges or intersections.

6. For projects with digital aerial mapping, minimum 2’ contour vertical accuracy, field survey shall be acquired in obscured areas and where the accuracy of the mapping does not meet project specifications. All hard surfaces and drainage features must be field surveyed. Mapping requires test sections, review, and evaluation prior to supplementing field survey.

7. Any and all break lines for the purpose of creating a more accurate DTM shall be collected as 3D in addition to the usual planimetrics that are also break lines.

8. Topographic data (topo) shall be obtained by the CONSULTANT by means of measuring X, Y, and Z coordinates of each point necessary to define topography, cover, and culture. The project control shall be used for all data collection along the project. The CONSULTANT shall provide a completed field map and file set for review by the STATE.

EXAMPLE “B” DRAWING BREAKLINES MANUAL INFORMATION

Due to the enhancements in the Department Engineering design software (Inroads), featurized DTMs will be provided. This will greatly reduce the amount of time spent producing a set of plans. It will require adjustment to data collection and drafting procedures. A few features are requested at this time. We intend to produce fully featurized DTMs in the future. We are initially requesting the following five features: • Edge of Pavement • Shoulder • Flow-line • Toe of slope • Existing Right-of-way A general rule of thumb is to make sure each feature is unique and continuous. For example, the edge of pavement of US-31 would be one continuous line through the entire project. This line would follow the break or edge of pavement without interruptions.

A road connecting or crossing US-31 would have a separate line at the radii of the flare & stop where it meets the EP of US-31. In this next example, US-31 is the primary road. US-72 would stop at the EP of US-31.

of 61

When drawing & collecting waterways, as shown in the following example. There should be separate lines for all banks & flow line features. This would only apply to larger drains.

The bank line labeled “L1”, running down Kelly Creek, will cease when approaching the Branch and a new line will start on the other side of the branch labeled “L4”. The flowline labeled “FL1” is the primary flow line. This line will be continuous throughout the drain and other flowlines like FL2 will tie in separately.

RIGHT-OF-WAY BUREAU PLANS MANUAL PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES

Taken from: http://www.dot.state.al.us/NR/rdonlyres/4F7FF6A9-C4C4-49E7-A870-

8530338D1674/0/ROWPlansManual.pdf I. Introduction A. General

1. The intent of this document is to provide guidance in the development of ALDOT Right-of-Way plans. The reference to "Right-of-Way" plans will be used throughout this document and collectively refers to the following:

a) "Right-of-Way" plan assembly

b) property sketches (also referred to as property plats)

c) property deeds (also referred to as legal descriptions)

2. The aforementioned Right-of-Way plan assembly is a distinct document whose primary purpose is to expedite the Right-of-Way acquisition process. The Right-of-Way plan assembly is a document developed separate from the Contract plans, although there is much information common to both. For full construction details, please refer to the Contract Plans.

3. As of the publication of this web page, the new Right-of-Way plan assembly format set forth in this documentation is to replace the formatting used on the traditional Right-of-Way roll maps.

4. The following issues are addressed in this document: B. Intended Audience 1. This document is intended for both ALDOT employees and consultants under contract to produce Right-of-Way plans. The information has been organized as well as possible to follow the logical progression of Right-of-Way plan development. 2. This document provides guidelines and standards that are to be adhered to by both ALDOT personnel and consulting firms under contract to produce Right-of-Way plans. Please refer to Guidelines For Operations (GFO) for details. 3. Any deviation from the standards set forth in this document are to be approved first by the State Right-of-Way Engineer

of 61

C. Guideline for Operations (Preliminary Draft, Pending Approval.)

ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION SUBJECT: GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE PREPARATION OF RIGHT-OF-

WAY PLANS The Alabama Department of Transportation Data Management Board has approved that all new projects begun after the date of this Guideline have right-of-way plans created that adhere to the Alabama Department of Transportation guidelines and CADD standards. These guidelines define data collection requirements, plan sheet assembly formats, labeling conventions, sketch and deed preparation standards, and computational standards and. Furthermore, standard menus are provided that automate the creation, organization and appearance of Alabama Department of Transportation Right-of-Way Plans in both electronic format and the format as plotted to paper. Current CADD standards are available in the form of a bar menu system named the "ALDOT Main Menu" that works in conjunction with SelectCAD, the ALDOT civil engineering design system, and MicroStation, the ALDOT computer aided drafting system. These standards control seed files, reference files, cell libraries, font libraries, design element attributes such as color, weight, level and linestyle, file naming conventions, sheet formats, access to automated procedures and more. Access to ALDOT’s Right-of-Way Plans "Guidelines and Standards" is available through the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Right-of-Way Bureau web page at http://www.dot.state.al.us/bureau/Right_of_Way/Mapping/mapping.htm or Intranet web page at http://csms1/Bureau/Right_of_Way/Mapping/mapping.htm . These web pages will also link to the latest production version of the CADD standards, documentation concerning download and installation, a history of any updates and/or changes and a listing of contact personnel for any support issues. It shall be the responsibility of the right-of-way mapper to ensure right-of-way plan compliance with the standards. RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL: _______________________________________

D. Instructions to Consultants

1. Consultants providing man-day estimates and fee proposals for Right-of-Way plan production should note that the "Data Collection" guidelines outlined in this document are not considered a part of the Right-of-Way tasks, but fall under the "Field Survey" man-day estimate. The "Field Survey" tasks are performed initially for the purpose of preliminary engineering, most of which ends up in the Right-of-Way plans. Do not include "Field Survey" tasks in the Right-of-Way man-day estimates and fee proposals.

2. The Data Collection guidelines herein are provided to ensure that property-related topography is properly collected and interpreted, as this information is the foundation upon which the Right-of-Way plans and all subsequent computations are based.

3. When submitting man-day estimates to ALDOT for Right-of-Way plan production, it is recommended that this proposal be based on the total number of "takings". For large tracts that border long stretches of a project, there exists the possibility of several "takings" for that particular tract. A "taking" is defined as any separate piece of property acquired by ALDOT for highway construction purposes. This could include parcels, drainage easements, construction easements, etc. These individual "takings" are what dictates the number of property plats and deeds that must be prepared per project, which in turn determines the time required to complete the Right-of-Way tasks for a project.

4. Completion of the Right-of-Way plans shall be defined as that time when final Contract Plans are submitted and accepted by ALDOT. The Right-of-Way plans shall be a "snapshot" of the Contract Plans at final submittal and shall reflect all necessary revisions to the plan assembly, property plats, and deeds. These revisions shall include, but not be limited to, the following occurrences: a. Design changes

b. Errors and omissions related to data collection and/or plan preparation

c. Property sell-offs 5. For consultants under contract to produce Contract Plans, the agreement shall also

include provisions for the development of Right-of-Way Plans when applicable. It is the policy of ALDOT that the same consultant be used for the development of both the Contract Plans and the Right-of-Way Plans.

II. Data Collection A. General Guidelines

1. "Data Collection" refers to the process of compiling and plotting all survey data pertaining to existing boundary lines, man-made structures, and natural features. Of special interest are the topographical features that may be impacted in some way by

of 61

highway construction and that play a vital role in the Right-of-Way acquisition process.

2. ALDOT does not perform boundary surveys. It is the policy of ALDOT to replicate

existing property lines on the plans as accurately as possible, but with consideration of the limitations of tax maps, source deeds, monumentation, and other available data.

3. Intent should always take precedence when interpreting the information found in the

Right-of-Way plans. It is the intent of ALDOT to compute the area of any "takings" for the sole purpose of determining "fair market value". Minor property boundary disputes typically do not have a major impact on these computations and it is ALDOT's desire to avoid any legal responsibility in such matters.

4. No document or guideline can substitute for experience and professional judgment.

However, the guidelines set forth in this document are intended to aid the surveyor and mapper with the development of Right-of-Way plans so that they are useful, consistent in appearance and reasonably accurate.

B. Research

1. The county Tax Assessor maintains records of ownership of individual parcels of land as well as Ad Valorem (Tax) maps showing the relationship of record tracts of land and plats of subdivisions. This information can be used to locate specific deeds and descriptions for the subject tracts of land. Overlaying the preliminary project control line, construction limits, and required Right-of-Way on the tax map will assist in identifying the affected tracts.

2. Check with mappers to see if affected properties have any pending splits or sell-offs

that are not reflected on tax maps.

3. Once the affected and adjacent tracts are identified, use the parcel ID numbers to obtain owner and source deed information. If affected properties fall within a recorded subdivision, recorded plats need to be obtained.

4. Ownership names and source deed book & page should be shown accurately in the

Right-of-Way plans (refer to "Plan Assembly Format" for details). Where affected properties fall within a recorded subdivision, recorded plats need to be obtained. The subdivision map book & page should also be shown in the plans.

5. On projects that follow an existing roadway, the present ROW needs to be verified.

This can be obtained from existing ROW maps and/or as-built plans. Sources for this information include ALDOT, city, and county engineering departments.

of 61

C. Site Improvements & Land Use

1. A field review/survey should be performed to show all improvements to affected properties. All improvements that fall within the required Right-of-Way should be located and shown on the plans, including the following: a. Buildings

b. Outbuildings

c. Sheds

d. Fences

e. Septic systems

f. Walks and drives

g. Ponds

h. Other site improvements, etc. 2. For improvements on affected tracts that fall outside of the required Right-of-Way, use

the following criteria: a. Rural - Obtain topography of structures and major site improvements within

200 feet of proposed Right-of-Way. Even on extremely large properties, improvements should be shown that fall within the general project corridor. The determining factor is the type of improvement and how it affects the value of the affected property.

b. Urban - Show all structures and site improvements.

c. Transitional areas - Professional judgement should prevail in linking Urban and Rural requirements.

3. It is important that minimum distances can be scaled on the plans between the required Right-of-Way line and the nearest point on an improvement (structure) found outside the required Right-of-Way. This includes porches, canopies, etc. and requires that this topography be accurately surveyed and indicated on the plans.

4. Minor crossroads that extend outside the required Right-of-Way should be labeled as

to their function, such as dirt logging road, field road, gravel drive, etc. 5. Identify adjacent land use such as cultivated, pasture, wooded, parking, etc. This is

especially significant in urban and/or commercially developed areas. Special use properties, (e.g., parks, institutions, airports, etc.), should be clearly identified.

of 61

D. Monumentation

1. A reasonable effort should be made to locate and tie with coordinates or traverse from a known control ( i.e., project control line ) a monument such as a section corner, 1/4 section corner, etc.

2. For rural areas, tie the properties to a minimum depth of the closest 1/4 section line

outside the proposed Right-of-Way. Additional markers are helpful, such as back property corners, row markers, etc. All monuments should be described in the plans. These monuments are sometimes referenced in the source deeds and are helpful in establishing an accurate property map.

3. For urban areas, all in-place monuments for affected tracts up to approximately 20

acres should be located and identified. 4. Special attention should be paid to any monuments; iron pins or other property corner

markers, natural boundaries such as tree lines or creeks, and man-made boundaries such as fence lines or rock walls, as they relate to establishing accurate property lines.

5. Locate and identify all existing Right-of-Way markers on the ground. If they do not

exist, re-establish (on the proposed plans) from the center of the road using old Right-of-Way maps.

E. Boundary Lines

1. The term "Boundary Lines" refers to all man-made or artificial lines such as township, range, section, property and easement.

2. All section corners should be tied to an identifiable, recoverable monument.

3. 1/4 section lines should be tied when possible, especially if they are used to establish

property lines of affected tracts.

4. 1/4 section lines that are not tied, but rather "gridded" on the plans are to be used for visual reference only, and not for computational purposes or as commencing points in legal descriptions. The plans should clearly differentiate the "gridded" lines from those that were tied to a known monument by the survey. (Refer to the Right-of-Way plans legend.)

5. Liberal use of property line and land hook symbols should be used throughout the

plans to clearly delineate boundaries.

6. Ownership names should be clearly labeled for all properties.

7. Easements should be clearly delineated and defined.

of 61

F. Total Property Considerations

1. The total periphery of affected tracts shall be shown on the Right-of-Way plans, with the exception of extremely large properties (See Right-of-Way Plans Formatting).

2. When encountering large properties, a decision must be made as to whether it is

practical to show the total property and all of its improvements. For example, timber companies, power companies, railroads properties, etc. tend to have extremely large areas of land often acquired over time by means of several source deeds. It can be very difficult to show the boundary of all contiguous properties accurately. In these cases, it is probably best to use the source deed(s) for the before acreage. In most cases, this is sufficient because ALDOT will acquire relatively small parcels and the impact to the total property value (remainder) is minimal. In some cases, a before acreage may not be available or necessary for this reason.

LOCATION SURVEY PROPERTY MANUAL FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY

1. ACQUIRING MAPS

A. Right-of-Way Maps One of the first things that need to be acquired when beginning a new project is

Right-of-Way maps. Some Right-of-Way maps are available online through the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Right-of-Way Bureau web page at http://www.dot.state.al.us/docmgt/cyberdocs.asp or Intranet web page at

http://csiis5/C14/Right%20of%20Way/Lists/Mapping%20and%20Archive%20Files/AllItems.aspx

The Division and District offices of the Transportation Department usually have

Right-of-Way maps and some As-built plans available for you to make copies and use to find Right-of-Way monuments and property corners.

B. Tax Plats

Ad valorem tax maps can be obtained from the Tax Assessors office at the county courthouse. Some counties maintain web sites for parcel data. Please be aware that this information may not be current.

2. DRAFTING

A. Total Property Sketches Inset sketches of very large tracts of land can be drawn to depict important items. The “total property sketch” does not have to be drawn to scale. It should be noted on the drawing if it’s to scale or not to scale.

B. Subdivisions Subdivision plats and monumentation should be used in order to plot subdivisions. The plats usually contain bearings, angles, and distances which are vital for establishment of the boundary lines. The name of the subdivision, plat book, and page should be noted on the map. The lot numbers should, also, be noted.

C. Monument Descriptions

Right-of-Way monument descriptions should be placed on the PRP_ROW layer. They should be described with the abbreviation ROWM. ROWM DAMAGED should be used if the monument is damaged. Monuments that describe property corners or quarter corners should be placed on the PRP_MON layer. They should be described with the size & type of the monument. Example: ¾” IP. See Standard Abbreviation Chart for all abbreviations.

of 61

http://www.dot.state.al.us/docmgt/cyberdocs.asp



D. Designating Ownership All property ownership text should be placed on the PRP_OWNER layer. The text should include the owner’s name (person property is conveyed to) exactly as the deed shows. Deed book and page should also be included. Example: DENNY S. LEWIS

DB 550 PG 752

E. ROW and Easement Dimensions All Right-of-Way dimension text should be placed on the PRP_ROW layer. Dimensions and dimension linetype are to be used when describing ROW. Example: 120’ ROW All easement dimension text should be placed on the PRP_LINE layer. Dimensions and dimension linetype are to be used when describing easements. Example: 120’ ESMT Note: After Right-of-Way lines are plotted, all section, quarter and property lines are trimmed back to the Right-of-Way. No lines of the above mentioned types should cross Right-of-Way.

F. Section Corners

All section corner descriptions should be placed on the PRP_MON layer. They should be described with the size & type of monument. Example: 4” x 4” CCM See Standard Abbreviation Chart for all abbreviations. The section numbers should be placed within the section corner symbol on each section. This text should be placed on the PRP_PLSS layer. Example: 29 / 30 32 / 31

G. Township and Range Lines

All township and range line text should be placed on the PRP_PLSS layer. The text should include the section number, township number (townships run north or south of the base line) and range number (ranges run east or west of the principal meridian) Example: SEC 31 TSHP-18-N RNG-03-E SEC 32 TSHP-18-N RNG-03-E

of 61

H. Preferred Property Ownership Map Designation A solid line will be used for deed boundary. A land hook will note same owner has adjacent property with a different deed or no deed found. Dashed lines are for parcels within a single deed. Bad practice has shown deeds with partial descriptions as total ownership with no true deed separation. Solid lines with land hooks should separate parcels of land acquired via different methods/deeds, even if the land is contiguous with identical ownership names. Any line type that is not solid or ROW will be assumed to be included within the deed or property boundary. The illustration below is for reference. Property Lines Solid with PL Same owner with Different deed Solid with land hook Parcels within deed Dashed ROW ROW line type Non-property section, & quarter Lines Designed line type

HYDRAULICS/DRAINAGE COLLECTION This document contains guidelines and procedures for drainage acquisition.

1. Collection of Roadway Ditches Many roadway ditches have no easily definable ditch area. Those that have a definable bank, toe, flow line, etc... would have the same appearance as a stream or creek and will be addressed later. Roadway drains with no definable characteristics often begin at the road shoulder and continue down the slope to the toe. At this point, there will be a bottom area and/or toe rising upward to a bank or sloping to higher ground. The target rod should be placed at the shoulder and then ground shots should be shown down the slope at grade changes or required intervals. At the bottom, a toe shot would be shown and then another toe shot where the slope begins its rise. Two toe shots are recommended to avoid a “V” bottom appearance, but not required. Additional shots would again be shown going up the rise at proper intervals. If the slopes are very short, ground shots may not be necessary. The bank would always be shown as a high point. The following are illustrations of this procedure.

The second toe would have a point code of 321.1 assigned to it to differentiate it from the first one. The target rodman should be careful so as not to get the toes “crisscrossed” when advancing up the road. Some roadway runoffs are simply the ground sloping down from the shoulder to the toe, then leveling out. The target rod would be placed at the shoulder and then ground shots again at required intervals down the slope. The toe would be shown and some ground shots to show the leveled out area past the toe.

of 61

The following is an illustration of this procedure.

If the toe eventually runs into a drainage structure or stream, it should be shown reasonably close to the structure or stream so the data editor can tie into the structure or stream. This will be covered in a later topic.

2. Collection of Streams, Creeks, Rivers, etc... First, determine how far to carry the topo of the stream. If the drainage structure size is less than 36 inches, the stream should be traversed a distance of 250 feet minimum from centerline in both directions. If the structure size is 36 inches or greater, the stream topo should be taken a distance of 500 feet minimum from centerline in both directions. For rivers and large creeks where the drainage structure is a bridge or a multiple barrel culvert (bridge culvert), you would likely extend the distance to 1000 feet from centerline in both directions. Generally on the 500 feet distance, it would be full topo for the first 250 feet, then just the flow line to the limit. On the 1000 foot distance, it would be full topo for the first 500 feet, then just the flow line to the limit. On surveys paralleling the roadway, the distance to the roadway must be taken into consideration and extended accordingly. An example of this would be: if the roadway is 50 feet to the left or right of centerline then the 250 feet distance would be 300 feet to that side. The 500 foot distance would be 550 feet to that side, etc. At any stream crossing of cross country surveys, you should carry the topo a distance of 500 feet minimum in both directions from CENTERLINE of survey. Rivers and large creeks you would likely extend the distance to 1000 feet from CENTERLINE in both directions. Small depressions would be traversed to just past the construction limits.

of 61

Some situations may require extending the distance to be traversed to a more appropriate distance. Some examples of this would be:

• The stream is paralleling the road. • The stream is meandering very crookedly. • The stream or drainage structure is on a severe skew. • The fill may be so great that the construction limits may be widened.

An appropriate distance would be extending it beyond the minimum required, a call generally made by the Chief of Party. Target rod placements may begin with ground shots in the area approaching the bank. A bank shot would be obtained placing the rod where the ground begins its sharp downward break. If the slope is long or has grade changes, ground placements may be needed on the slope. If the break is sharp and steep, proceed to a toe shot with the rod placed at the leveling off point (not the top of water). Obtain a flow line shot by placing the rod in the deepest spot in the stream bed. Next, would be a second toe placement at the point where the ground begins its accent. If it is a wide stream, additional ground shot placements or flow lines will be made. A second bank shot would be obtained, placing the rod at the point of upward break. The slope would be shown as described previously. The area out from the second bank would be shown with ground placements or break lines. If in a large valley area, the high or flood banks and corresponding toes would be shown placing the rod in the same manner. The following are some illustrations of these procedures.

of 61

Large Valley Area Illustration

After collecting the initial bank, toe, etc…, a designation of a decimal point and the next increasing number would be assigned to the following banks, toes, etc... As the target rodman proceeds with the topo of the stream, the rodman should be extremely careful so as not to get the stream characteristics “crisscrossed.” Target rod heights frequently will have to be altered during this process. This is another area the target rodman should be extremely careful about. Accurate communication with the instrument operator is vital. The break lines should be collected near the drainage structure so that the Data Editor can connect them. Again, this will be covered in a later topic. The depth of the water in some streams will be too great to wade and will require the use of a boat. On these streams, the grounds, banks, and toes would be shown in the manner previously described. For the flow lines or other placements deemed necessary in the deeper water, maneuver the boat to the desired spot and use whichever of the following methods is appropriate. If the target rod is tall enough, place it on the stream bed at the desired placement. If the conditions such as depth are too great, or current too swift, etc…, measure the depth of the water. The depth of the water may be obtained by attaching a suitable object such as a, rock, hub, spike, or similar to a tape and lowering it to the stream bed. Place the target rod at the water level and add the depth measured to attain the rod height of the shot. Take great care in relaying this height to the instrument operator. An example would be 18.5’ measured depth plus 8.5’ target rod = 27.0’ target rod height.

The use of life jackets and all boating and water procedures should be observed.

On very large streams, usually rivers, the depth and current are too great for any of our procedures. Hydraulics personnel with their boats of appropriate size and depth finding equipment are called on to assist in the data collection. A target rod is placed on the boat and an instrument is positioned to track. The target rod will be placed at a location on the boat where its elevation is relative to the depth finder and the target can be acquired. A shot will be taken on the target rod and the depth finder will calculate the distance down to the river bed. The rod height and the reading from the depth finder will be combined to obtain the elevation of the river bed. Multiple shots are acquired as the boat traverses up and down or across the river necessary to obtain an accurate representation of the river bed. Accurate communication between the boat and the instrument operator is vital. Generally, a top of water elevation along with the time and date will also be noted.

3. Collection of Concrete Flumes There are basically two types of concrete flumes, flat bottom and rounded bottom. The objective is to show a representative picture. On a flat bottom flume, the target rod would be placed on the top of the flume, then a flow line of flume placement where the side reaches the bottom. Next, another flow line of flume placement would be shown where the bottom rises up the other side. Then you would place the target rod on the other top of the flume. The following is an illustration of this procedure.

The procedure would be the same for a rounded bottom flume. Additional flow line shots may be necessary depending on the width and shape.

Be careful when communicating with the instrument operator so as not to get the tops and flow lines “crisscrossed.” This would be particularly important where two flumes intersect. Keep the tops and flow lines running smoothly and correctly when advancing up the flume. When a flume connects with a drainage structure, show the flume placements near the structure so the Data Editor can do the needed connections.

4. Collection of Ponds, Lakes, and Sink Holes Show an accurate depiction of a ponds’ bank, toe, and bottom. A dam or spillway will also be shown. The bank is the edge of the high ground just before it breaks to natural ground. The toe is where the slope changes grade toward the bottom of the pond. Place the target rod on the break for a bank shot and continue around the perimeter of the pond, where the bank is curving, give the rod placements at proper intervals to accurately show the curvature of the pond bank. Use a solid line type for the pond bank. This same procedure is used to show the toe of the pond. Be careful to show bank and toe placements adjacent to each other in these curving areas so that bank lines and toe lines do not cross each other. Ground shots and/or break lines will be shown in the pond bottom at rod placements giving an accurate depiction. Most ponds and lakes will require the use of a boat. The shots on the bottom will be acquired from the boat using the same procedure previously described in the collection of larger streams. If you are collecting on a very large or deep lake, for example, Lake Guntersville, you would need the assistance of the hydraulics personnel and their equipment. The same procedure would be used as previously described. Ground shots and/or break lines would be shown in the area surrounding the pond. If there is an earthen dam, another line of bank placements with a solid line type will be shown along the outer break of the dam. Should there be a concrete dam, stop the bank placements where they meet the dam and show a line of target rod placements on each top edge of the concrete dam. The outer toe of either type of dam would be shown with a line of rod placements. Some lakes or ponds will have runoff spillways. Show spillways with the same procedures as dams. The following are illustrations of the procedures described.

of 61

320-Bank 320.1-Bank 321-Toe 321.1-Toe 322-Ground If a top of water shot is requested, place the target rod at the top of the water level of the pond or lake. Record the time and date of acquisition. A sink hole will have the same appearance and characteristics as a pond with no dam. It may or may not have water in it. A sink hole would be shown in the same manner as a pond.

5. Collection of Pipes, Culverts, and Drop Inlets

Pipes There are various types of pipes used in roadway drainage, all easily recognizable. Plastic, Corrugated Metal, Bituminous Coated Corrugated, and Reinforced Concrete are the most common types. After recognizing the type of pipe, the size must be obtained. This is done by measuring the diameter of the pipe and recording it in inches. After the length of the pipe is measured in feet, the size is labeled. An example would be: 100’ – 36” RC. There will also be span and rise pipes. Measure the pipe at its greatest span or width. Span is recorded and noted first. Next, measure the rise or vertical height of the pipe. An example of this data would be: 100’–24”S X18”R RC.

of 61

The skew of the pipe is determined from the topographical data. A pipe that is perpendicular to the roadway would be a 0° skew. The skew is the angle off of 90°; recorded to the nearest + 00° 20’ 00”. The direction is noted by the downstream direction of the water and centerline; left or right of centerline and ahead or back of 90°. Examples of this recording would be: 0° Skew right or 15° 40’ right ahead. To collect the data on the pipe, place the target rod in the flow line of the pipe (a 312 point code) and then the inside top (307) to verify the size. The flow line of the other end of the pipe will be acquired with the same code and another inside top. Most pipes will have headwalls, headwall & wing wall combinations, or a sloped headwall. For just a headwall, place the target rod at each of the back top corners and front ground elevations using a 309 point code. Ground elevations should be the main focus. Any accompanying wing walls should be included with the headwall to aid the Data Editor. Ground shots will be acquired with the wing wall also. Headwalls are likely to be destroyed if the pipe is extended. Sloped headwalls require only 4 shots for the headwall. Place the target rod at the lower and upper corners of a sloped headwall. The pipe end is at the outer most tip of the cut. Show the inside top for pipe size verification. Some wing wall-headwall structures will have a concrete catch basin with a baffle from one wing wall end to the other. This may be noted to the Data Editor or collect two concrete shots at the end.

Culverts A concrete culvert is often required for large drainage areas. If the width of the culvert is 20 feet or greater along centerline or parallel to the centerline of the roadway, it is called a bridge culvert. A culvert may have one barrel or multiple barrels. Measure the width from inside the barrel wall perpendicular to the other inside barrel wall. If the end is skewed, be careful to measure accurately and not along the skew. The width measurement is noted first. Next, measure the height from the flow line of culvert to the inside top of the structure. The height measurement is noted second. The number of barrels will be counted and noted. Length is measured from end to end and recorded as length – span X rise & barrels. An example of the recorded data would be: 120’–12’ X 10’ CD. The following are the correct barrel abbreviations: Single barrel – CS Double barrel – CD Triple barrel – CT

of 61

Quadruple barrel – CQ More than four – #BBL, i.e. 5BBL, 6BBl, etc… The skew of the culvert and the correct recording of it will be attained in the same manner as previously described in the section on pipes. To collect the data on a culvert, place the target rod in the flow line of the culvert (a 311 point code) at each corner of each barrel end. Be careful not to crisscross the sides. Include a single inside top shot for each barrel. Wing wall, headwall, catch basin and baffle would be shown by target rod placements previously described in the section on pipes.

Drop Inlets There are several types of drop inlets. A drop inlet with a metal grate top would be shown by placing the target rod at each top corner, a 310 point code. The bottom or flow line of the drop inlet may be shown with a single 335 point code. The pipe(s) in the drop inlet would be shown as previously described in the section on pipes. A drop inlet with a concrete top cover with openings for the water to run in under the concrete top would be shown by placing the target rod at each top corner, a 310 point code. Next, place the target rod on the corners where the water would run in under the concrete top, a gutter point code will suffice for this. If the concrete top cannot be removed, measure down to the bottom with a tape and adjust the target rod height accordingly, giving the placement. Show the pipe(s) by any method possible. Along roadways with a curb and gutter, you will encounter single wing and double wing drop inlets. A single wing drop inlet is one where the curb face will open up along the gutter from one direction and the water drains into it. A double wing inlet is one where this takes place from two directions. They will be constructed of concrete. Place the target rod on the top corners of the drop inlet and in the gutter where the water drains into the drop inlet. The tops of these can virtually never be removed. To collect the data on the pipe and catch basin, use the measuring procedure described earlier or any means possible.

Storm Manholes

Place the target rod in the center of the manhole lid cover, a 516 point code, to show the top. Remove the lid and collect the pipe data as previously described in the section on pipes. If it is too deep for a rod placement, use the previous discussed measuring procedures.

6. Miscellaneous Information Break lines must be shot in a manner that will run smoothly and not cross other break lines. They will have to be tied to structures and on occasions to other breaklines. Refer to the manual entry on breaklines for more detailed information. When Hydraulics personnel are required in the data collection of any above topic, they can be contacted at the Bridge Scour Section. High water data must be attained along with drainage collection. This would be the highest the water has ever risen to in a time of flood. On occasions there will be a marker denoting this in certain locations. Some high water records can be obtained at such locations as D.O.T. offices, County Courthouse Officials, Law Enforcement, Civil Defense Personnel or local residents in the area. Often, you will need to contact a long time resident of the area and obtain their help in showing you the highest they have ever seen the water. When you have determined the location, place the target rod there and collect a reading. Note the date when this high water occurred and the information source. Flood plain sections are generally desired in drainage collection, especially in a low lying or flood prone area. The flood plain is the plain or topographic area adjoining a stream that is covered by its waters in a time of flood. A flood plain section is taken on natural ground on the downstream side, perpendicular to the flood plain. Begin the target rod placements above high water on one side and continue them across the plain at appropriate intervals, approximately 50 feet, showing breaks and the stream itself, as described in the topic on streams, to a location above high water on the other side. During any drainage collection you will want to note any information that is of use. Some examples of such information would be scouring at the drainage structure, rocky bottom, or debris in the plain.
