Verbatim from the official edition

Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)

If an accuracy is claimed for a CGC83 value or values, the survey that established the value or values shall be documented on a map, record of survey, corner record, or other document that includes, at a minimum, the following:

(a) For each CGC83 station, the resultant CGC83 value or values.

(b) The epoch (date), in a decimal year format to two decimal places, that is the basis of the CGC83 values shown. The epoch shall be the published NGS or CSRC epoch of a controlling station for the survey.

If the published epochs for the horizontal positions of the controlling stations are not the same, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the horizontal values of the controlling stations so that said values of all the controlling stations are at one consistent epoch published by NGS or CSRC. These adjustments in the coordinates of the controlling stations shall be made in accordance with procedures and values published by NGS or CSRC.

(c) The FGDC and FGCS accuracy standard of the CGC83 value or values established. FGDC accuracies shall be identified as either a local or network accuracy.

(d) Additional written data that justifies the FGDC or FGCS accuracy standard shown. Such additional written data shall include observation equipment, control diagram including required field-observed statistically independent connection or connections, adjustment methodology and software used, a summary of the procedures used or a reference to published commonly accepted procedural specifications, final residuals or closures, and other data essential for others to evaluate the survey.
