N.M. Admin. Code § 19.2.10.12 - SURVEY PLAT
A. Unless
waived by the commissioner pursuant to
19.2.10.13 NMAC, each application
for an easement or right of way shall include a survey plat, which describes
the location (by quarter-section parts or lots, township, and range
coordinates) of the proposed easement or right of way. The survey plat shall be
based upon an actual survey on the ground and shall include a plat prepared in
accordance with the Minimum Standards for Surveying in New Mexico as set out by
the New Mexico board of registration for professional engineers and surveyors,
by a professional surveyor who is registered in New Mexico or exempt from
registration under the provisions of the Engineering and Surveying Practice
Act, Sections
61-23-1 to -32 NMSA 1978, or its
successor provisions. The survey plat shall be properly certified showing the
surveyor's state of registration and registration number. The survey plat shall
show the centerline of the proposed easement or right of way or, if there is no
centerline, then the area of the proposed easement or right of way. The survey
plat shall identify every point where the proposed easement or right of way
enters or leaves state trust land, crosses a section line, fence, road,
pipeline, telephone line, irrigation works, or any other visible boundary, use,
or easement. The survey plat shall show the location of all improvements in the
close proximity of the easement or right of way. The survey plat shall show
ties to section and quarter section corners, and measurements shall be to the
nearest tenth of a foot with bearings expressed to the nearest minute. In no
case shall the smallest unit of angular measurement be more than one minute.
Acreage shall be computed to the nearest one hundredth of an acre and the
survey plat shall show the number of acres, and the number of rods, included in
the proposed easement or right of way in each legal subdivision of 40 acres,
more or less.
B. When the
requirement to submit a survey plat in accordance with Subsection A of
19.2.10.12 NMAC has been waived
pursuant to
19.2.10.13 NMAC, then the
applicant must provide to the commissioner a plat (prepared by the applicant,
or the applicant's designated agent), drawn to scale, and showing the location
of the easement or right of way and indicating the approximate number of acres
and rods to be taken, as well as the legal description (by quarter-section
parts or lots, township, and range coordinates) of the lands to be burdened by
the proposed easement or right of way in the form required by Subsection A of
19.2.10.12
NMAC.
