Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : MCEI MorganCityLA Four Character ID : MCEI Monument Inscription : IERS DOMES Number : (A9) CDP Number : (A4) Monument Description : NOAA PORTS PLATFORM AT EUGENE ISLAND 8764314 Height of the Monument : 8.166 m above the water surface. Measurement was taken at 1520Z ON 20230501 using a steel tape. This measurement is from the water surface to the bottom of the Alloy antenna. Monument Foundation : Three leg steel pile NOAA platform battened at approximately 15 degrees. Platform walk surface is galvanized steel grating. The antenna mount is bolted to the galvanized steel grating using 5/8 inch Grade 8 bolts on each leg with at least 2 bolts per leg. Foundation Depth : Legs driven 50 feet into the water bottom Marker Description : Three leg steel pile NOAA platform battened at approximately 15 deg. Platform walk surface is galvanized steel grating. Located near Eugene Island on the west bank of the Atchafalaya River channel. The marker (aka Geodetic Reference Point) of the SECO 2072 Adjustable Tilt Antenna Mount for both the vertical and horizontal measurements is the divoted/rounded top of the pivot point, visible when the Top Plate/Antenna assembly is removed. The height above the pivot point to the 5/8"-11 brass stud shoulder is 0.0350 m, and is engraved on the outside of the mount."
