The Minimum Standard Detail Requirements were first established in 1962 through a joint effort between ALTA and NSPS and have been updated several times since then, most recently in 2016. The new Minimum Standard Detail Requirements that became effective last week can be found here. Some key updates are as follows: When conducting the fieldwork, surveyors are now required to plot “utility locate markings” to show location and evidence of easements and utilities, with a note as to the source of such markings (such as flags, markings on sidewalks, or road).
