§ 3834. Removal of surveying monuments

A person who knowingly removes or alters monuments marking the boundary of lands or knowingly defaces, alters or removes marks upon any tree, post or stake which is a monument designating a point, course or line in the boundary of a parcel of land shall be fined $100.00 and shall be civilly liable for the replacement cost and any consequential damages. However, land surveyors in their professional practice may perpetuate such monumentation by adding additional marks, or by remonumenting nonsubstantial monuments or by the placing of new monuments to preserve monuments to be destroyed or made inaccessible.
