This form can be used to submit recovery information for survey marks to the National Geodetic Survey. If the data sheet for this mark shows a recovery within the past 12 months and the status has not changed, please do not report it.

Enter PID:

Poor, disturbed, mutilated, requires maintenance

     For Destroyed condition, see Note below

Note:  For destroyed marks do one of the following:

1) If you have found the actual marker separated from its setting, you can report the point as destroyed. To do so please send the report on the destroyed mark as an email to Deb Brown (Deb.Brown@noaa.gov). If you send this email, please do not submit the current form, Deb Brown will submit the report for you. In addition, please submit proof of the mark's destruction via actual disk, rubbing, photo, or digital picture (preferred) to Deb Brown:

                     Deb Brown, N/NGS143
                     National Geodetic Survey, NOAA
                     1315 East West Highway
                     Silver Spring, MD  20910

2) If you did not find the actual marker, then you should enter notes concerning evidence of its possible destruction as text records and select "Not recovered, not found" as the condition of mark.

Enter agency code of the recovering organization/agency:

USPSQD - U.S. Power Squadron
INDIV - Local Surveyor or Engineer
NGS - National Geodetic Survey
Other - Enter the approved agency code of the organization which recovered the mark in the textbox below.

If you do not know your approved agency code, you can generate the latest contributors' list from NGS' integrated database (NGSIDB). On this list the agency code starts in column 1 and the agency full name follows it. The list is sorted alphabetically by agency code. If your agency or firm is not on this list and you would like to be assigned a specific agency code, please contact Deb Brown at NGS to make the appropriate arrangements.

Enter initials of the person who recovered the mark (Optional):

The date of recovery must be expressed as a numerical month (between 1 and 12), a numerical day of the month, and a four character numerical year. The month, day, and year may be separated by spaces or by commas.

Valid examples are:
