As well as research, the project will include, evaluating field evidence for boundary control, setting monuments, recovering monuments, marking boundary line, producing land descriptions and collecting any evidence of trespass or encroachments originating from the adjoining private parcels across the NPS boundary line.
A land survey plat will be prepared and recorded in the records of Guam Department of Land Management per Guam requirements and land descriptions will be prepared for use in the transfer of property.
