(a) Coordinates based on the Indiana coordinate system of 1927 or the Indiana coordinate system of 1983 purporting to define the position of a point on a land boundary may not be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless the recording document also contains:
- (1) a description of the nearest first-order or second-order horizontal geodetic control monument from which the coordinates being recorded were determined; and
- (2) the method of survey for the determination.
- (b) If the position of the described first-order or second-order geodetic control monument is not published by the National Geodetic Survey (or its successors), the recording document must contain a certification signed by a professional surveyor registered under IC 25-21.5 stating that the subject control monument and its coordinates were established and determined in conformance with the specifications given in IC 32-19-1-3 .
- (c) The publishing of the existing control stations or the acceptance with intent to publish the newly established control stations by the National Geodetic Survey constitutes evidence of adherence to the FGCC specifications. Horizontal geodetic control monuments shall be permanently monumented and control data sheets prepared and filed so that a densification of the control network is accomplished.
(d) The surveying techniques and positioning systems used to produce first-order or second-order geodetic precision shall be identified. Annotation must accompany state plane coordinate values when they are used to less than second-order precision.
