(1) If application is made for the purchase of submersible lands, the applicant must cause such lands to be surveyed at the expense of the applicant by a surveyor, whose selection is subject to prior approval by the Department of State Lands. The survey must connect with and conform to adjacent surveys acceptable to the department, so far as practicable. The applicant must submit to the department, with the application, an accurate map of the lands applied for, showing the boundaries and stating the area. The map must be verified by the surveyor before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths.
