Sec. 3271. Availability of soil surveys under soil survey program

-STATUTE-

In recognition of the increasing need for soil surveys by the

States and other public agencies in connection with community

planning and resource development for protecting and improving the

quality of the environment, meeting recreational needs, conserving

land and water resources, providing for multiple uses of such

resources, and controlling and reducing pollution from sediment and

other pollutants in areas of rapidly changing uses, including

farmlands being shifted to other uses, resulting from rapid

expansions in the uses of land for industry, housing,

transportation, recreation, and related services, it is the sense

of Congress that the soil survey program of the United States

Department of Agriculture should be conducted so as to make

available soil surveys to meet such needs of the States and other

public agencies in connection with community planning and resource

development.

-STATUTE-

In order to provide soil surveys to assist States, their

political subdivisions, soil and water conservation districts,

towns, cities, planning boards and commissions, community

development districts, and other public agencies in community

planning and resource development for the protection and

improvement of the quality of the environment, recreational

development, the conservation of land and water resources, the

development of multiple uses of such resources, and the control and

prevention of pollution from sediment and other pollutants in areas

of rapidly changing uses, including farm and nonfarm areas, the

Secretary of Agriculture shall, upon the request of a State or

other public agency, provide by means of such cooperative

arrangements with the State or other public agency as he may deem

advisable, the following assistance with respect to such areas and

purposes:

(1) the making of studies and reports necessary for the

classification and interpretation of kinds of soil;

(2) an intensification of the use and benefits of the National

Cooperative Soil Survey;

(3) the furnishing of technical and other assistance needed for

use of soil surveys; and

(4) consultation with other Federal agencies participating or

assisting in the planning and development of such areas in order

to assure the coordination of the work under this chapter with

the related work of such other agencies.

The provision by the Secretary of such assistance shall not

interfere with the furnishing of engineering services by private

engineering firms or consultants for on-site sampling and testing

of sites or for design and construction of specific engineering

works.
