distances less than two thousand feet (2,000') at the sixty-eight percent (68%)
confidence level (one (1) sigma); and
(B) The positional uncertainty of any
coordinates shown on the plat relative to the control that is held fixed, shall

distances less than two thousand feet (2,000') at the sixty-eight percent (68%)
