Metadata Standards

Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.

Standard name: FGDC Biological Data Profile of the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata Standard version: FGDC-STD-001.1-1999

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet

Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet File name: FGDC Plus.xsl Version: 2.0 Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in

12/22/2011 don.n.morgan the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO

CONTROL MONUMENT CONSTRUCTION

NOTE: The instructions are based on Berntsen brand Sectional Rod monuments with sleeve, access cover, and Aluminum Cap for illustrative needs only. Any other comparable system may be used upon submission and approval. The product can be seen at http://www.berntsen.com/.

Equipment needed: Items needed, but not limited to, are Inclinometer, measuring tape, lathe, marker, flagging, clip board with monument sheet, pencil with template, shooter shovel, post hole diggers, digging bar, access cover, hammer and stamping set, Berntsen rods with plenty of points, 16 lb. sledge hammer or gasoline drive impact hammer, safety glasses, two pairs of vice grip pliers, “Lock Tight Liquid” or lock washers, generator, grinder with cutting wheels and grinding wheels, drill with datum point shaping tool, punch, 12” form tube cut to approx. 24” high, 24” length of 6” Sched 40 PVC, wheel barrow and spade shovel, a small amount of pea gravel, “Ready Mix Concrete”, sand, and a trowel for finishing concrete.

1.) Location: Select a location for this monument by looking for a clear area, preferably close to the ROW, with no obstructions, no overhanging trees or billboards towering over the proposal point, no underground utilities in the area, no nearby microwave towers, and not too close to traffic. The location of the point must be suitable for occupation by a base or a rover. If this monument is to be paired with an azimuth mark, the pair must have line of sight at a distance according to job scope. Any obstruction must comply with the project manager’s scope of inclination.

2.) Starting to set the rod: Dig grade to depth of approximately 2’-3” with bell at bottom, see drawing SK-01. Assemble your first rod per manufacturer direction, w/point on one end and the insert on the other before driving. Be sure to tighten all the pairs after you squeeze Lock Tight on all the threads of the bolts or lock washers with the two vice grip pliers, depending on what the project manager wants. (Do not put Lock Tight on the threads of the insert.). Drive rod to approximately 4 tenths of a foot above the ground, remove the insert and screw another rod to the rod in the ground and tighten once again. You must retighten the insert at the top of the rod several times to ensure the rods are not loosening as you are striking. The person holding the setting tool will be able to feel when to stop striking and remove the setting tool and tighten the rod. When you tighten the rod it is a good idea to tighten as much as possible to ensure the joints in the ground are tight also. Keep repeating until you reach Refusal (Definition of Refusal: Refusal is reached when the rod has not moved a tenth of a foot with your last ten strikes, or 1 foot after 1 min of continuous operation with the impact hammer.)..Cut rod to approx 3-4 inches below grade, grind smooth top.

3.) Preparing for concrete: Install 12” form tube at top of bell, bottom of hole, with no more that 1” above grade. The access cover must be stamped with the point name before it is set in PVC. Set stamped cover in PVC, glue in place, let dry thoroughly. Drive 2 #4 deformed Rebar anchors in bottom of hole, ensure 4” into in-situ earth. Fill bottom of hole with approximately 3” sand. Ensure approximately 2” of Rebar extends above sand bed. Drill holes for 60D nails in PVC below access cover collar and install 60D nails. Place PVC over rod into sand. The sides of the hole must be belled outward and down from the bottom of the form tube to the estimated depth and shape as shown in SK01.

4.) Place concrete: Place Ready Mix into a wheelbarrow, using the spade shovel stir water in thoroughly to make a paste.

Backfill around PVC with mixed concrete, fill PVC with Sand and Top with 3” pea gravel to approximately 3” below top of Rod. Trowel concrete smooth. The access cover must be above ground but not more than one inch but must be below ground. The concrete must be smoothed with a trowel.

5.) Finish up: Stamp Rod Cap with required information and install on end of rod. Cap should be approximately centered between access cover and top of gravel. When monument is complete be sure not to leave site without removing all debris and trash. The site should be left as it was found with the exception of the new monument.
