www.ucls.org 8 Issue 1 2018 / UCLS Foresights W e have been a little slow this year in gettingmeet - ings scheduled and up and running. Topics are not always easy to come by and we are looking for interesting and enlightening subjects to dis - cuss. If you have something you would like to learnmore about, please let myself or another member of the chapter know. With that plea for help from the membership, we do want to highlight the two meetings we have had this year. In January we were pleased to hear from Dennis Wenger from Frontier Corp. Dennis is a wetlands consultant and discussed what is and is not a wetland, what to look for in the field and discussed the different types of wetland designations we have in the state. It was very informative, and I personally learned a lot. In May we had the opportunity to hear a presentation from Mike Julian from DOPL. Mike discussed the new model rules and the requirements for making sure each document (i.e. drawing, description or report) is properly identified. In the past no stamp designating the type of document was really required, however, with the state adopting the latest NCEES Model rules (Section 240.20.C.1), it is now required to stamp and sign the documents or place a stamp on the face of the document, stating whether it is a final drawing or working drawing. I would recommend reviewing these rules to ensure you are in compliance with them. We are excited for the upcoming busy summer months and are working on something in July if we can fit it between the holidays. Have a wonderful summer. Stay hydrated, and safe out there. q Golden Spike Chapter Report We are excited for the upcoming busy summer months and are working on something in July if we can fit it between the holidays.
