(1) For purposes of more precisely defining the Virginia Coordinate System of 1927, the following definition by the National Ocean Service/National Geodetic Survey is adopted: The Virginia Coordinate System of 1927, North Zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1896, having standard parallels at north latitudes 38 ø 02' and 39 ø 12', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 78 ø 30' west of Greenwich with the parallel 37 ø 40' north latitude, such origin being given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000", and y = 0'. The Virginia Coordinate System of 1927, South Zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1896, having standard parallels at north latitudes 36 ø 46' and 37 ø 58', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 78 ø 30' west of Greenwich with the parallel 36 ø 20' north latitude, such origin being given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000', and y = 0'.

(2) For purposes of more precisely defining the Virginia Coordinate System of 1983, the following definition by the National Ocean Service/National Geodetic Survey is adopted: The Virginia Coordinate System of 1983, North Zone, is a Lambert conformal conic projection based on the North American Datum of 1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 38 ø 02' and 39 ø 12', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 78 ø 30' west of Greenwich and the parallel 37 ø 40' north latitude, such origin being given the coordinates: x = 3,500,000 meters and y = 2,000,000 meters. The Virginia Coordinate System of 1983, South Zone, is a Lambert conformal conic projection based on the North American Datum of 1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 36 ø 46' and 37 ø 58', along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 78 ø 30' west of Greenwich and the parallel 36 ø 20' north latitude, such origin being given the coordinates: x = 3,500,000 meters and y = 1,000,000 meters.
