Abstract
IN 1991, NGS adopted a policy that
defines the conditions under which
NAD 83 State Plane Coordinates (SPCs)
would be published in feet in addition
to meters. As outlined in that policy,
each state or territory must adopt NAD
83 legislation (typically referenced as
Codes, Laws or Statutes), which
specifically defines a conversion to
either U.S. Survey or International Feet
as defined by the U.S. Bureau of
Standards in Federal Register Notice
59–5442. To date, 48 states have
adopted the NAD 83 legislation
however, for various reasons, only 33
included a specific definition of the
relationship between meters and feet.
This lack of uniformity has led to
confusion and misuse of SPCs as
provided in various NGS products,
services and tools, and created errors in
mapping, charting and surveying
programs in numerous states due to
inconsistent coordinate conversions.
