Surveyors cannot destroy, injure, damage, or move anything on private property without written permission from the landowner, and remain civilly liable for any damage caused

Entry is prohibited onto operating railroad lands, railroad-owned properties, critical infrastructure, and critical infrastructure facilities (defined as fenced properties or those with posted "no entry" signage)
