If a land survey encroaches on public land, what action is required under DAO 2007-29?

When surveying reveals encroachment on public land, the required step is to report the encroachment to the DENR. This DAO directs surveyors to inform the Department of Environment and Natural Resources so the proper authorities can review the situation, verify boundaries, and take appropriate corrective action. Reporting creates an official record and enables the enforcement process to protect public lands, rather than leaving the issue unresolved, ignoring it, or applying unrelated penalties directly to the surveyor or landowner.
