Definiion The rccordo in this category are the policy procedure and specifics of soil and water conservation engineering encompassing planning through application and operation and maintenance Activities are conservation practices construction design drainage erosion control geology highway protection hydrology irrigation operation and maintenance snow survey soil mechanics1 landscape architecture and sanitary engineering
Per filing purposes these records are divided in two principal groups
General Piles Engineering files which relate to overall operations
Case Piles project case files or case files which relate to directly to specific construction jobs major structures or leasures etc
Piling SUbjects and ccxles are basically the same for both general files and case files In setting up case files the name of the project job etc is shown on folders field books etc in addition to file subject and code
GBNBRAL PILES
BNGINBERING - General Classify and file overall or general BNG (0) records pertaining to Engineering in this first position folder
In some officeo his single folder may be sufficient for all Engineering material However where the volume of records or need for accessibility necessitates a further breakdown use one or more of the following recurring secondary or tertiary subjects Use case files as described under CASE PILSS11 for RCampD watershed protection and flood prevention and other project activities
Recurring subjects The following recurring subjects may be used as needed with the primary or with any secondary subject (See definition of recurring subjects and how to use them in the Instructions part of the Records Guide)

Secondary and tertiary subjects Following are approved secondary and tertiary subjects that may be used as needed Normally case files are described immediately following the approved secondary and tertiary subjects However in the case of Engineering case files for Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention design and conshystniction work the case files should be kept together for each particular constniction phase Par this reason
case files for engineering constniction (including 11AS Built plans) and design are described under Case Files The numbers given these case files correspond to the related secondary or tertiary subject

Engineering notes drawings technical data etc covering ENG-13-5 normal individual on-farm (including RECP amp GPCP) engineering practices such as terraces diversions waterways farm ponds grade stabilization structures drainage systems irrigation systems and land leveling and grading
Some engineering notes drawings and other data may have a value for future work beyond the normal 5 year period Do not dispose of them until the period of usefulness has expired Guidance in detennining what records may have future value is to be obtained from the Area Engineer or State Conservation Engineer Similar materials required by state laws to be retained will be kept for the legal retention period Notes drawings and data covering structures or measures in controversy are considered as active and should be retained for a period of 5 years after the controversy is settled
Examples of materials which may be deemed useful for future work are
(a) Elevations and descriptions of pennanent bench marks
(b) Topographic maps which still reflect field conditions
(c) Maps locating buried work such as tile or pipelines if there is a likelihood of such work being extended or physically tied in with adjacent work

Engineering notes drawings technical data etc covering ENG-13-5 normal individual on-farm (including RECP amp GPCP) engineering practices such as terraces diversions waterways farm ponds grade stabilization structures drainage systems irrigation systems and land leveling and grading
Some engineering notes drawings and other data may have a value for future work beyond the normal 5 year period Do not dispose of them until the period of usefulness has expired Guidance in detennining what records may have future value is to be obtained from the Area Engineer or State Conservation Engineer Similar materials required by state laws to be retained will be kept for the legal retention period Notes drawings and data covering structures or measures in controversy are considered as active and should be retained for a period of 5 years after the controversy is settled
Examples of materials which may be deemed useful for future work are
(a) Elevations and descriptions of pennanent bench marks
(b) Topographic maps which still reflect field conditions
(c) Maps locating buried work such as tile or pipelines if there is a likelihood of such work being extended or physically tied in with adjacent work

Some engineering notes drawings and other data may have a value for future work beyond the normal 5 year period Do not dispose of them until the period of usefulness has expired Guidance in detennining what records may have future value is to be obtained from the Area Engineer or State Conservation Engineer Similar materials required by state laws to be retained will be kept for the legal retention period Notes drawings and data covering structures or measures in controversy are considered as active and should be retained for a period of 5 years after the controversy is settled
Examples of materials which may be deemed useful for future work are

(b) Topographic maps which still reflect field conditions
(c) Maps locating buried work such as tile or pipelines if there is a likelihood of such work being extended or physically tied in with adjacent work

Some engineering notes drawings and other data may have a value for future work beyond the normal 5 year period Do not dispose of them until the period of usefulness has expired Guidance in detennining what records may have future value is to be obtained from the Area Engineer or State Conservation Engineer Similar materials required by state laws to be retained will be kept for the legal retention period Notes drawings and data covering structures or measures in controversy are considered as active and should be retained for a period of 5 years after the controversy is settled
Examples of materials which may be deemed useful for future work are
