Riparian Ownership and Use. (This presentation will be customized to Iowa/Midwest specific issues) This presentation will also explore court proceedings dealing with riparian and how not to wind up in court in the first place.

Locating the side and lateral boundaries of riparian ownership is difficult! The terra firma adjoining the water is constantly moving and shifting, but the ownership lines that extend into the water are fixed by centuries of jurisprudence. Did your property experience a build-up of sediment or a major allusive event? Even more, the evidence is required before finding the boundary. These subjects can be some of the most frustrating and time-consuming land disputes. Even more important than riparian ownership is the allocation of docking rights. There are many methods to allocate riparian use between neighbors, and choosing the correct method is critical to properly locating lines of use.

Day 2: March 19, 2021 (9am-12pm)

9am: Update New Datum 2022. Dave Zenk, PE, PLS, NGS
NAD 83 and NAVD 88, although still the official horizontal and vertical datums of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), have been identified as having shortcomings that are best addressed through defining new horizontal and vertical datums. The new reference frames (geometric and geopotential) will rely primarily Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) as well as an updated and time-tracked geoid model. This paradigm will be easier and more cost-effective to maintain. Learn how the new datums may affect your work and how to prepare for the future.

Craig Steffensmeier, PLS, Senior Land Surveyor, IaDOT
