Hello everyone,
Are there any mapping professionals here that work in Colorado or Wyoming and are familiar with what can be done in regards to mapping without a PLS and staying out of trouble with the state survey boards?
I'm planning on consulting a lawyer before pursuing this part of the drone services industry, but I figured I'd see what people actually doing this type of work in the area think.
I've been reading through land survey codes for Colorado, and it seems like as long as we aren't trying to alter or confirm real property boundaries or guaranteeing a specific number for accuracy in our data that mapping is allowed.
For background on what I'm looking to do, I'm an ecologist looking to use UAV mapping for forestry, ecological restoration, habitat assessment, and possibly agriculture and solar/wind inspection. I'm not planning on doing anything with construction or engineering, besides what little bit is involved in ecological restoration, which will mostly deal with earthmoving (grading, volumes, etc.).
Thank you!
