The Survey Plan Submission to Surveyor General (CLRS) form is used to submit all plans prepared pursuant to the Land Act, the Mineral Tenure Act, the Coal Act and well site plans prepared pursuant to Energy Resource Activities Act to the Surveyor General for filing in the Crown Land Registry.

A CLRS form is generated in SurveyHub when one of the above-noted plan types is selected.

The CLRS form must be electronically signed by a BC land surveyor. See Obtain a Digital Certificate from Juricert.

This guide presumes that a survey site in SurveyHub has first been created. See https://help.ltsa.ca/ltsa-enterprise/survey-sites for survey site creation instructions.

The rest of this page provides CLRS form creation help after the SurveyHub Create Survey Plan button has been pressed.

The below images document the creation of a Land Act survey plan CLRS form. The steps are similar for the form creation for Mineral Tenure Act, Coal Act and Former Indian Reserve plans, with some small variation for plan type specific contextual form data. See Create Survey Plan - Well Site for well site specific instructions.
