We are delighted to invite you to the New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors 61st Annual Surveyors Conference hosted by the Northern New York Association of Land Surveyors (NNYALS)! Our event will
be held January 22-24, 2020, at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino located in Verona, New York.
A renowned, award-winning destination resort in Upstate New York, the Turning Stone Resort Casino features world-class amenities including four hotels, two luxurious spas, an all-weather indoor golf dome, more than 20 dining options, a 125,000 square foot Las Vegas-style gaming floor, a cabaret style Showroom, and several nightlife venues. (Visit www.turningstone.com for more information).
Our annual surveyor’s conference is our most anticipated event of the year, hosting surveying professionals from New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and the neighboring Canadian provinces. With nearly 1,000 professionals networking through our exhibits, seminars, and social events, we guarantee this is one event you do not want to miss.
“Surveyors Summit”This year’s theme highlights our NNYALS regional whose local area includes the Adirondack Park. The Adirondack Park is a natural wilderness unlike any other. Surveyed by Verplanck Colvin, “The Great Surveyor of the Adirondacks” from 1872 to 1900, the park spans across six million acres. Covering 1/5 of New York, it is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States. Join us as we explore regional issues, such as, “Adirondack Park Land Use and Development” and “Adirondack Park Wetland and Current Regulations”. In addition, we will discover new insights with important and timely topics such as ”Mentoring Our Future Surveyors”, “Harassment in the Workplace” and “Managing a Survey Business”.
Also, plan to bring your field staff as we showcase our 14th annual Technician’s Track, featuring programs designed for your crew chiefs, instrument operators, rod persons, office managers and other unlicensed technicians important to your business.
Come explore the endless possibilities the world of surveying can offer. There are many paths you can choose to enhance your career. There has never been a better time for you to embrace the vast wealth of information and peer support offered at our annual conference. Come network and find out what everyone else is doing, how they are doing it, and how you can improve your workplace efficiency to increase your workload.
Discounted registration packages!Our MONUMENTAL PACKAGE (see back cover) offers all education, lunches, welcome reception and exhibit hall entry at a discounted price. Of course for those of you who cannot make the full 3-days, we have exceptional discounts on our one-day and half-day registrations, as well.
Student Networking Day 2020We are looking for volunteers to participate in the 7th debut of our annual student networking day. The NYSAPLS education and young professionals committees have designed an afternoon including an introduction to the “real world” of surveying to assist current students enrolled in survey related programs. It is also a great way to get to know some of the faculty from the colleges offering surveying curriculums on the exhibit floor and potentially recruit new employees upon graduation. Please join us for this important event to help our future licensees by giving them a few hours of your time. See page 14 for more details, and be sure to indicate you’d like to participate on your registration form.
Extraordinary Exhibition Experience!We REALLY want you to be able to spend more time perusing our exhibits and getting the most out of your conference experience without taking away from your classroom time. Once again we will feature exhibit hall presentations and longer breaks for lunch and in-between classes. You can now utilize this “extra” time to view the latest advancements and trends in surveying technology, take a look at and vote on our annual map contest entries, bid on silent auction items for our scholarship fund, visit the NYSAPLS Bookstore and member lounge, discover new member benefits and connect with vendors, friends and other business professionals.
Take a few moments to review the extensive program our volunteer committees have worked so hard to put together for you. Join us as we celebrate 61 years of showcasing our great profession!
Sincerely,
Kenneth J. Stigner, LS, PP Conference Committee Chair

WEDNESDAY MORNINGJanuary 22, 2020
Mentoring Our Future SurveyorsNY CE: PendingAmy J. Hopkins, PLS8:00am – 12:30pmWith the average age of surveyors getting higher each year, we need to attract and retain young survey talent. Once we hire them, how do we hold on to them? Is your management staff scaring them off? Are we overlooking potential talent within our own firms? Is the generation gap too wide to bridge? Does your company offer a friendly work atmosphere for everyone? Maybe your management style needs to change. This session is geared toward managers and party chiefs who interact directly with the future of our profession. Upper level managers will take away a new perspective on the development and mentoring of their employees at all levels of experience and licensure.
Everyday Land Survey Practices with CarlsonNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEMichael Hyman & Doug Aaberg, PLS8:00am – 12:30pmIn this session, we will explore and show “real world” examples and highlight best practices for a better Field-to-Finish. In addition, we will highlight examples and recommendations of “Tips, Tricks and Pitfalls” within the program for better quality map-making practices for the Land Surveying industry. The class will finish up with customer examples in Carlson’s “Traverse Adjustments” best practices. The topics discussed and shown within this class are derived from years of experience of using, training and supporting land surveying projects.
Basements & Crawlspaces: What’s the Difference, and Who Cares?NY CE: 1.5 LS/PEWendy Lathrop, PLS, CFM8:30am – 10:00amThe difference between a basement and a crawlspace seems clear by common perception of what each one is. But when it comes to floodplain management, the distinction, while very specific, may not be as easy for some to discern. Whether designing a structure to be constructed in a 1% chance floodplain,
completing an Elevation Certificate for insurance or Letter of Map Change purposes, or completing paperwork for processing a buyout, the differentiation is critical for achieving the basic objectives of the National Flood Insurance Program. This session is designed to clarify the distinction and underscore its significance. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the various meanings of “lowest floor”.
Adirondack Park Land Use and DevelopmentNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEChristopher E. Cooper, Esq.8:30am – 10:00amSubdivision and development in the Adirondack Park may require a permit or variance from the Adirondack Park Agency (APA). Surveyors may be called on to identify boundaries and specific features of a subdivision or other development to support review of a permit or variance request. Agency Staff will provide background on the APA and more detailed information on permitting requirements and procedures of the Agency, including what information is required for permit and variance review for subdivisions and other development.
Stone Walls: As Boundary LinesNY CE: 1.5 LS/PERichard C. Brooks, PLS8:30am – 10:00amAgricultural stone walls, the grandest of all boundary line monumentation, had a distinct roll in forming New York’s early landscape as well as its boundary line case law. This presentation will acquaint the attendee with the history of stone walls. The human interaction with these stones will be explored, looking at the wall placement, their juxtaposition and functions. We will track their evolution from being an agricultural structure into a boundary line land form. Tying these unique monuments to a boundary line location is not an automatic exercise. We will review the Doctrine of Practical Location and the legal concept of acquiescence. We will explore case laws that rely on these overruling principles to move the boundary listed in the deeds to the physical location of a stone wall. The cases to be reviewed include: Kennedy v. Nimons, Appellate 3rd, (2014); Henry v. Male
Appellate 3rd (1999); and others. Downey Farms v. Town of Cornwall Planning Board, Appellate 3rd, (2004) will also be reviewed as to its relevance in using stone walls as tool to be used by oppositional forces to stop a residential subdivision.
Pin CushioningNY CE: 1.5 LS/PERichard C. Brooks, PLS10:30am – 12:00pmThe focus will be the occurrence of multiple monuments occupying the same property corner, commonly called the pin cushion effect. The attendee will be introduced to a different perspective on how to recognize and analyze this seemingly everyday occurrence. The lecture will be focused on actual survey retracements that have been subjected to being pin cushioned. The lecture will expose the attendee to a method of establishing each monument’s pedigree and then applying that period’s of measurement precision to the final boundary line determination.
Harassment in the Workplace[Meets NY Requirements for Harassment Prevention Training]NY CE: n/aLori E. Miller10:30am – 12:00pmHarassment in the workplace can have serious consequences for both employees and employers. This training is designed to increase employee understanding of sexual harassment and other forms of harassment and its prevention. Preventing harassment is largely dependent upon workplace culture, values, and behaviors that are encouraged or discouraged. Participants will learn about the law, workplace policies and procedures and how to handle various situations in the workplace to ensure it is harassment free!
NYS GIS ClearinghouseNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEFrancis Winters10:30am – 12:00pmIn New York State we are fortunate to have a large and growing set of GIS resources available publicly. The NYS ITS GIS Program Office hosts the States framework data program, the GIS Coordination Program, and a GIS web services platform. This training will expose participants to framework data resources including orthoimagery, elevation, addresses, streets, municipal boundaries, and property parcels. All of these data collections require partnerships,

TECHNICIAN'S TRACKsome with local governments, and others with private companies. This program will describe the GIS Program Office’s partnership strategies and vision. Finally, participants will gain an understanding of the benefits of connecting to GIS web services which remove the burdens of downloading and handling large GIS data sets while making use of their content. The GIS Clearinghouse (gis.ny.gov) is the gateway to these programs, as well as data resources provided by many other agencies.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Counting Down to 2022 – Are you Ready for the New Datums?NY CE: 4.0 LS/PEDaniel J. Martin1:30pm – 6:00pmIn 2022, NGS will be replacing the US horizontal and vertical datums (NAD 83 and NAVD 88). In this workshop we will review the need and process for these changes, and the progress made over the last year. We will begin with a brief discussion of the history of the North American Datum of 1983 and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, their relationships to other reference frames, and the reasons for their ongoing evolution. We will then discuss what activities are being undertaken to ensure a smooth transition to include new State Plane Coordinates, GPS on BM for Geoid18 and the new vertical transformation tool, NGS Conversion and Transformation tool (NCAT), and a new data delivery system.
Record Research: Paper versus Ground TruthNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEWendy Lathrop, PLS, CFM1:30pm – 6:00pmWhat does the record say as compared to what is actually on the ground? Title searchers and surveyors both have an interest in public records relating to particular properties. However, the same documents may have different significance to each of these professionals. The most current recorded document does not always accurately describe the property on the ground. But sometimes the written record can reveal clues about additional evidence that we should be seeking out. Using real-life examples, we will explore difficulties with chains of title, what physical and record tells
us about the history and location of a property and its markers, and how to better preserve the evidence in our own written descriptions.
Applied Mathematics for Land SurveyorsNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEScott R. Reeser, PLS1:30pm – 6:00pmThis session is intended to provide the attendees with the opportunity to refresh and expand their survey math skills thru the review and completion of real-world survey applications. While attendees are expected to have a working knowledge of basic survey math functions, a brief review will be provided, including the following: basic geometry, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, bearings and azimuths
and curve functions. The attendees will be provided with real-world survey problems which will need to be solved with a basic calculator, pencil and paper. Each attendee must bring a calculator capable of solving basic trigonometric functions (sine, cosine & tangent). The attendees should be familiar with their own calculators prior to the session. Pre-programmed calculators and/or those with coordinate geometry programs are discouraged. This is a hands-on session where the attendees will spend the majority of the course working through real-world survey problems without the aid of a computer.
X COURSE DESCRIPTIONS X
What is the Technician’s Track?An education track specifically designed to address the needs of pre-licensed surveying employees. It is designed for party chiefs, field crew, rod persons, students and other surveying staff specialists who demonstrate the following:• commitment to the land surveying profession;• willing to go “above and beyond” in their current position;• have one to five years of experience in surveying techniques or currently enrolled
in a college level surveying program;• willing to be change agents and risk takers in their company; and,• open to examining their current thinking and the status quo.
This specialized series of classes creates a learning experience where participants explore key concepts and gain greater self-awareness of their own professional advancement strategies.
Working with other future leaders, attendees build a strong community of fellow peers, explore new roles for survey leaders, identify ways to better manage work responsibilities, and enhance their commitment and motivation as a surveying professional.
Is there a registration fee?Discounted registration is offered for the Technician’s sessions. You can attend the specialized Technician education track Wednesday through Friday. You may also visit the exhibition hall, featuring the largest gathering of surveying suppliers and manufacturers in the Northeast.
Who should attend?Surveying field crew staff and those striving to obtain experience necessary to obtain a license. College and University students are encouraged to attend as these programs will provide a new perspective on the experience needed to become a licensed land surveyor.

Student Networking Learning Exchange RoomNY CE: n/a2:00pm – 2:45pmAs part of student networking day, join us in our “learning exchange room” to further the networking experience between students and licensed professionals. This room will be reserved for professionals and students to relax over a cup of coffee, discuss their experiences in an informal setting and address questions the students may have regarding entering the workforce as a surveying professional. Or participants can use this time period to stroll the exhibit hall (licensees: this is a great way to acquaint students with your technical contacts at our tradeshow). Conference attendees who wish to participate in student day activities should sign-up on the conference registration form. More details on student networking day can be found on page 14.
Adirondack Park Wetlands and Current RegulationsNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEChristopher E. Cooper, Esq.2:00pm – 3:30pmThe Adirondack Park Agency has jurisdiction over projects involving wetlands within the Park. Projects in or near wetlands may require a permit or variance from the Adirondack Park Agency (APA). Surveyors may be called on to identify boundaries of a subdivision involving wetlands or specific features of a proposed development and alternatives in relation to wetlands to support review of a permit or variance request. Agency Staff will provide background on APA wetlands jurisdiction and more detailed information on wetlands regulations, delineations, and impacts on potential subdivisions and development.
Education SummitNY CE: n/a3:00pm – 4:00pmA round table education summit meeting with New York State Licensed Professional Land Surveyors, College Professors from ABET accredited colleges, students and our invited guest dignitaries from bordering states, Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, NSPS Officers and international representatives from Canada. Discussions focus on how we as Professionals can better educate our licensed members and the students (future surveyors). The visiting
dignitaries provide us with what their states have implemented successfully to address the needs of licensed land surveyors with technical and/or regulatory issues and college programs. The college professors provide course offering and information gained from the students who have completed their internships and how licensed land surveyors could help improve the student experience. Licensed Surveyors share their unique experiences on boundary issues and working relations with the public and regulatory agencies in the everyday world. Therefore, discussion will include current legislative and regulatory issues affecting the profession. Attending students will give us an insight into the future from angles yet to be observed. We will also explore what courses need to be offered to students to become licensed professional land surveyors and what technical programming is needed for current licensees.
Ethics for the Professional SurveyorNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEJoseph V.R. Paiva, PhD, PS, PE4:00pm – 5:30pmEthics for many surveyors, whether when preparing for the land surveying exam, or discussing with other surveyors, falls in the category of “least favorite.” In this course, we will discuss how the land surveyor can potentially open him or herself up to complaints and legal actions if they ignore thoughtful consideration of the impact of decisions that fall in the areas of morality, ethics and professional responsibility. We will discuss some of the subtle differences between these terms. We will also discuss how the surveyor may teach some of the key ethical concepts to team members. This will be done through discussion of real and “near-real” case studies.
Real World Perspectives Panel: Starting Your Professional CareerNY CE: n/aModerator: Richard C. Brooks, PLS4:30pm – 5:30pmSession includes a panel discussion focusing on the different types of Land Surveying firms available, ranging from the sole proprietor to the huge multi-disciplined professional service firms. The panelists will discuss what you can expect from each type of firm and the different career paths and opportunities they can provide. Students and mentors are encouraged to attend this session together.
THURSDAY MORNINGJanuary 23, 2020
Least SquaresNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEJoseph V.R. Paiva, PhD, PS, PE8:00am – 12:30pmLeast squares is a tool that surveyors think is similar to other traverse adjustment tools such as the compass or Bowditch Rule. While this is true, the use of least squares is much more. There is a tendency among surveyors, with improvements in specification of total stations and GNSS, to think that analysis of raw data and adjustments to apply account for random error are unnecessary. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. With these new “black box” technologies, it is steadily becoming harder to state with confidence that the measurements are correct, as surveyors have lost touch with the technology. When used properly and with understanding, least squares can be used to detect errors and blunders, and improve the quality of positions. Achievement of objectives or specifications such as accuracy stipulated by ALTA can be designed before the survey, and afterwards, used to analyze the raw data to ensure that the objective has been met. A variety of example applications will be discussed with case studies to show how it can be an extremely useful tool.

FEMA Elevation Certificates/ LOMA/InsuranceNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEE. Tyler Ardron, CFM8:00am – 12:30pmThis FEMA and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) class will provide up-to-date information on the outcome of the NFIP reauthorization and the proposed bills to extend and modify the insurance program. We will review how these changes will affect the Elevation Certificate services you provide and what information you need to know to educate your clients. Private Flood Insurance is a growing market segment and we will review the differences these policies have as compared to the NFIP program. We will provide an in depth look into how the Elevation Certificate is utilized by the insurance industry to rate a property’s flood risk for NFIP Flood Insurance, in addition we will explain how a local municipality uses the form to enforce their Floodplain Management Ordinance. The NEW Elevation Certificate has some changes that will make documenting flood vents easier and we will have a full review of those changes. At the end of this upbeat class, participants will be better equipped to complete the Elevation Certificate correctly and more accurately.
Dendrology for the Land SurveyorNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEGregory M. Vaverchak8:00am – 12:30pmDendrology is the study of trees and woody plants. This course is directed toward the skill of identifying different tree species that the New York State Land Surveyor would come into contact within the course of preparing a survey. Whether locating a specific tree or stump referred to in an old boundary description or identifying a tree at a boundary corner for a new description, tree identification is an important skill for the professional surveyor. Can’t tell the difference between a red and white oak, a red or sugar maple or a white and black walnut? This is the course for you. Taxonomy will also be discussed. Knowing the Latin/Greek names of various common tree species is helpful information to pass on to Architects, particularly Landscape Architects for both new and existing development. At the end of the course, participants can test their new found knowledge with a self-grading test of various examples of leaves, twigs and bark.
Mock Trial: Harper v. Sunshower ResortNY CE: 6.0 LS/PEGary R. Kent, PS8:00am – 3:30pmThe Harpers had Peyton Mann perform a survey to prepare for construction of a new house on their lakefront property. Sunshower Resort – owners of the property north of the Harpers – took exception to Mann’s opinion and hired their own surveyor, Tommy Bradley, who disagreed with the Mann survey. Litigation ensued and although the surveyors met in order to attempt to resolve their differences, title problems, a lack of documentation of original surveys, and numerous historically conflicting surveys prevented a clear resolution to the conflict. Two actual attorneys and a judge will participate with the audience sitting in as jury as the plaintiff and defendant, the two surveyors, and a title expert. We will explore the chains of title, conflicting lines of possession, the related boundary law principles and differing claims of title. As an integral part of the trial, questions will be taken from the audience. In addition, the judge will discuss the process and procedures in such a case and the attorneys will offer guidance and suggestions to those who would testify as expert witnesses.
* Class includes lunch break from 12:00pm – 1:30pm.
* Attendees must attend entire session to receive credit.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Managing a Survey BusinessNY CE: PendingWilliam E. Beardslee, PLS, PE, PP1:30pm – 6:00pmDesign professional firms, such as surveyors, are typically run by someone licensed in the service they provide. Usually, while a great professional, they have little or no business or management training. This course serves to enlighten these professionals with an important concept: to help them now “know what they don’t know.” Management is not just of staff or budget, it is also of clients and the public – sometimes an overwhelming situation. The ideas and processes presented in this course will help them stay in control at various stressful occasions.
Using Modern Survey Packages, Workflows and Applications with Civil 3DNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEJohn Cooke1:30pm – 6:00pmAutodesk Civil 3D® is a very powerful and popular solution applicable in many Civil Engineering and Survey firms. Despite its power, Civil 3D’s core survey functionality has not kept pace with developments by other vendors, including Leica, Trimble, Carlson and others. This class, drawn on real-world experience in a medium-size survey and engineering firm, focuses on two major areas: First, the class identifies core functionality within Civil 3D essential and common to survey and engineering applications, and looks at configuring that environment to work optimally. Secondly, the class identifies and focuses on better survey solutions in other products, including Leica and Carlson, and looks at the integration of these more modern solutions as replacements for the dated aspects of Civil 3D. The implementation strategy is to pull the best pieces from different, and sometimes competing, software products to develop the most efficient solution possible.
Using ArcGIS OnlineNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEChristine Gayron, PLS & Jason R. Graf, PLS2:00pm – 3:30pmArcGIS Online is web-based software in the Esri GIS family that can be very powerful organizing data on land surveying projects. In this course, the presenters will introduce you to ArcGIS online and show you what types of data can be collected, stored, organized and analyzed. You will see actual examples of applications on land surveying projects. Emphasis will be placed on showing how data is stored and tracked and can be monitored in real time as it is collected in the field. We are living in the data age and this course is designed to get you to think about how GIS could be an effective tool for managing data. The cost of GIS ranges from free to very expensive and this course will also explain how you can get started using GIS.

Mineral Rights & Deed ReservationsNY CE: 1.5 LS/PELaura E. Ayers, Esq.4:00pm – 5:30pmExplore the fascinating world of mineral rights and exploration in context of the real property laws of New York State. This program will explain the definition of the esoteric legal terms used to create mineral estates, convey mineral estates and extinguish them. This program will also highlight how to identify whether or not a mineral estate has been split from the surface ownership and the extent of the rights of the owners of the various levels (surface vs. subsurface) of fee ownership.
CST CourseNY CE: n/aRichard C. Brooks, PLS4:00pm – 5:30pmWhether you are an active Certified Survey Technician (CST), a technician who wants to be a step above your peers or a business owner looking for another competitive advantage to win a bid, this program will be of value to you. This awareness level presentation will introduce the attendee to the program history, the multiple career paths available to our technicians and the application process. Testing techniques will be explored and attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to explore various CST informational and training websites. Attendees will participate in a discussion of the return on investment a firm can expect by offering this program to their survey and office technicians.
FRIDAY MORNINGJanuary 24, 2020
Avoiding Boundary Problems, Understanding Survey ReportsNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEGary R. Kent, PS8:00am – 12:30pmThe importance of communicating with clients, title companies and attorneys about the results of a survey is an important, but typically overlooked part of completing a survey. Even though a surveyor may spend an inordinate amount of time searching for, sorting through, and weighing evidence related to determining a boundary, the final plat typically reflects little if any of that effort. Surveyors need to do a better job of communicating what has been done, and why, and perhaps most importantly, what the results of the survey mean (and do not mean). This program will present the concept of a Surveyor’s Report and discuss what information is relevant and desirable to include in such a report – and why. A number of laws, standards and articles dealing with Surveyor’s Reports will be reviewed so the audience can benefit from the ideas of others. Surveys will be used to generate an interactive dialogue with the audience on who will benefit from a surveyor’s report, what information it should and could include, and how it should be organized to best meet those objectives. The audience will then participate in writing several Surveyor’s Reports based on scenarios provided to the audience. A well-written, readily-understood Surveyor’s Report can be a vehicle to communicate meaningful information to the client and to other surveyors.
Client Communication Obligations in NYS Consumer Rights and Professional LicensureNY CE: 4.0 LS/PEWilliam E. Beardslee, PLS, PE, PP8:00am – 12:30pmThis course will discuss the communication skills necessary to meet the statutory, regulatory, and ethical requirements in New York. It includes review of basic skills and how to apply those skills to a project. A Project Communication Agenda is described and each item reviewed in detail with emphasis on the Pre-Proposal Meeting with a prospective consumer.
FAA Remote Pilot Certificate ReviewNY CE: 1.5 LS/PEThomas E. Cerchiara, Jr., PLS8:30am – 10:00amThis course will prepare the attendee to take the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate exam.
