§ 673. Additional definitions

(a) For purposes of more precisely defining the Vermont Coordinate System 1927, the following definition by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (now the National Ocean Service ational Geodetic Survey) is adopted:

(b) The Vermont Coordinate System 1927 is a transverse Mercator projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having a central meridian 72 degrees 30' west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set one part in 28,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 72 degrees 30' west of Greenwich and the parallel 42 degrees 30' north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 feet and y = 0 feet.

(c) For purposes of defining the Vermont Coordinate System 1983, the following definition by the National Ocean Service ational Geodetic Survey is adopted. The Vermont Coordinate System 1983 is a transverse Mercator projection of the GRS 80 ellipsoid, having a central meridian 72 degrees 30 minutes west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set one part in 28,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 72 degrees 30 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 42 degrees 30 minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 meters and y = 0 meters.

(d) The position of the Vermont Coordinate System 1983 shall be marked on the ground by existing or future survey stations established in conformity with standards adopted by the National Geodetic Survey or its successors for first-order and/or second-order work, whose geodetic positions have been rigidly adjusted to the North American Datum 1983 (NAD 1983).
