Congratulations to Greg Gress for Obtaining PLS
Gress has been working in Bursich’s Land Surveying Division since 2002, and his experience includes all aspects of surveying, including boundary and topographic surveys to construction stakeout on sites from one to 3,000 acres for public and private sector clients. He also heads up the firm’s high-definition 3D laser surveying projects. “We’re very proud of Greg’s accomplishment and recognize the time and effort that he has dedicated,” said President Scott Exley. “As a company, we are happy to welcome him into the ranks of our registered professionals. It’s a testament to the value that he already brings to Bursich.”

Seeking Volunteers for PA DEP Committee Jeffrey Horneman was appointed by PSLS as a liaison to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) for working on existing and proposed regulations, and how they relate to the professional surveying field. There have been recent PA DEP regulations proposed that would have the net effect of eroding the practice of land surveying, and it is important that we guard against this. Mr. Horneman is putting together a team of PSLS members who would like to volunteer for this committee. Work would include regular teleconferences, review of proposed and existing DEP regulations, research of proposed regulations and the PA state law, coordination with the PSLS, and attendance of DEP meetings. To date, there are two other surveyors from Southwest PA on the team with Mr. Horneman. He would like to extend this coverage to all parts of the state, and find someone in Harrisburg especially for contacts with the PA DEP main office. If you are interested in joining this team, please advise Mr. Horneman at the contact information below. Jeffrey Horneman, PLS (PA/WV)

The National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2010 Richard E. Lomax National Trig-Star Awards. The Trig-Star committee met on July 17, 2010, to determine the three top high school students from the national examinations submitted by state winners. This year there were 34 state winners submitted. A past president of NSPS, Richard Lomax was the driving force behind the elevation of the local Trig-Star program to the national level. In October 1994, Board action named this high school trigonometry skill award in his honor. 
Greg Gress, senior project manager for Bursich Associates, has successfully completed his Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) exam. The PLS is a professional license issued through the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. Gress initially obtained the Surveyor in Training (SIT) designation, which is a prerequisite to the PLS.
