PCP Revision Notice: Equivalent Position
Meridian Placement Systems
A two-page circular stating that a nearby position may alter approach, access envelope or return path. The notice asks reviewers to describe what remained continuous rather than merely record a distance.
NEARBY IS A SPATIAL OBSERVATION. EQUIVALENT IS A CONTINUITY DETERMINATION.
Record the changed access, approach or return condition before treating a position as equivalent.
