Certified Federal Surveyor (CFedS)
In an effort to expand the scope of our services, Jeremy M. Powell is enrolled in the Certified Federal Surveyors training program (CFedS). The completion of this program will allow Powell and Associates to provide services for a wide range of federal projects.
The CFedS program is a voluntary program to train and certify professional licensed surveyors to perform boundary surveys and related cadastral services to basic federal surveying standards. The primary purpose of the CFedS Program is to provide American Indian and Alaska Native landowners, tribes, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and federal agencies administrating lands adjoining Indian lands with a roster of qualified surveyors, specifically trained to provide boundary services in Indian country. The initial goal of the CFedS Program is to assure that all cadastral services executed in Indian country are performed in accordance with Bureau of Land Management (BLM) standards.
