If the area to be surveyed is located next to another ancestral domain area, representatives from the adjoining area shall be invited to attend the Mission Planning. e. Reconnaissance. A field reconnaissance shall be carried out by the Survey Team prior to the survey in order to identify the location and existence of previously established control/reference points and possible location of project control points to be established and route for the survey. f. Establishment of Project Controls. In the establishment of project controls, the Survey Team shall look for existing control/reference points within or near the ancestral domain/land and thereafter establish new controls for the ancestral land/domain boundaries. At least two (2) intervisible control points are necessary in the establishment of control points, provided, that the distance to be maintained in between each pair of control points shall not be less than one hundred (100) meters. The survey of project control is made using survey grade Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment or conventional survey instruments The project control monuments shall be placed in pairs using standard concrete monuments measuring 30 cm x 30 cm by 100 cm, set at 70 cm on the ground, centered by a galvanized iron spike/copper nail. The label on top of the monument shall specify: (a) the name of the station, which may be derived from the first three (3) letters of the province where it is located, subject to the approval of ADO, numbered accordingly or in coordination with DENR-FNSP; (b) the year of establishment; and, (c) the acronym of NCIP. These project controls are installed at an interval of 5 km distance. Page 18 of 26 Revised Omnibus Rules on Delineation and Recognition of Ancestral Domains and Lands of 2012
