Form Prepared by (full name) : Thomas Consiglio (COET), John Galetzka (NGS) Date Prepared : 2024-10-29 Report Type : UPDATE If Update: Previous Site Log : n304_20241028.log Modified/Added Sections : 1, 4.1 1. Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : N304 SHELL BEACH Four Character ID : N304 Monument Inscription : IERS DOMES Number : (A9) CDP Number : (A4) Monument Description : Deep-Driven Braced Monument Height of the Monument : 1.6 m Monument Foundation : One vertical 9/16" diameter stainless steel rod driven to : 27.43 m depth (same depth as the nearby tide gauge platform) : and loosely braced by three diagonal 1" diameter stainless : steel rods driven into the earth 3.5 m. The diagonal rods are : welded to a stainless steel collar which allows the vertical : rod to move freely up or down, but limits horizontal movement : to less than 0.02 m. Foundation Depth : 27.43 m Marker Description : Vertical reference is base of 5/8"x11 thread where it meets : the top of welded nut. There is no horizontal reference, but : the center of the 5/8"x11 thread at the vertical reference : can be taken as a notional one. Note that a GNSS antenna MAY : NOT align to north (which is not important for monitoring : vertical motion). Date Installed : 2024-02-16 Geologic Characteristic : Holocene silt; marsh setting in the Mississippi delta.
