Virginia Conservation Practice Standards

The table below is the current list of Virginia conservation practices in alphabetical order by practice name, with the practice code in parentheses.  The table contains links to the practice standard (available in either Portable Document Format (PDF) or MS-Word)) and to job sheets for a limited number of conservation practices.  The Electronic Field Office Technical Guide (eFOTG) remains the main source for Practice Standard information.  Conservation Practice Standards are in Section IV of the eFOTG.

The conservation practice standard contains information on why and where the practice is applied, and sets forth the minimum quality criteria that must be met during the application of that practice in order for it to achieve its intended purpose(s).

The conservation practice job sheets provide detailed guidance on the application of the practice, and contain worksheets that can be used to document the practice plan and design for a specific site.

The National Handbook of Conservation Practices notices transmit updated or new National conservation practice standards.

Some of the documents require Adobe Acrobat Reader, if it is not already installed on your computer.

If your browser does not support tables, you may download the files directly from the FTP server. They are available as PDF files or MS-Word files.  You will need to know the conservation practice number (code) to recognize the correct file to download.
