project (fig. 9-1). In these situations, it is a crucial step in the plan preparation process to hire a title
company to conduct record searches so that any underlying title issues or previous land use issues
are uncovered. If any rights or restrictions are found in the title study, then a licensed land surveyor
should be retained to resolve these issues by determining the legal property boundaries on the plot
plan. The field-verified plot plan then becomes the basis for all other plans necessary in project
implementation. This process is typically needed on recently acquired properties, for which land
ownership and rights may not yet have been clearly established (as in the earlier example).
Removal Plan
The removal plan, sometimes referred to as the demolition plan or the clearing plan, provides
instructions as to what existing features are to be removed or cleared from the project site (fig. 9-2).
Invasive nonindigenous vegetation, dilapidated structures, abandoned utility equipment, trash,
and debris are typically identified and targeted for removal and safe disposal at an approved off-site
facility. Removal plans document existing aboveground structures and vegetation that are required
to be removed. On the other hand, removal plans also identify those elements or features that
