U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 3271. Availability of soil surveys under soil survey program
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.
