STANDARD DESIGN DRAWINGS

For Use in the NH Ag Nutrient Management Grant Program

     The Rockingham County Conservation District under an agreement with the NH Department of Agriculture and approved by NRCS has developed and prepared several Standard Design Drawings and Design Guides for typical conservation practices funded under the Agricultural Nutrient Management Grant Program.  This project was under-taken to insure that practices installed under the Grant Program would also meet NRCS minimum standards (Limited Resource Criteria) under their programs.  These Standard Drawings and Design Guides are provided here for use by anyone applying for cost-share assistance under the Grant Program.  The files are stored as Adobe "PDF" files printable on 8.5" x 11" standard size paper and require Adobe Reader to view and print them.  Larger size 11" x 17" copies may be available by contacting the NH Department of Agriculture if needed.

     To find out more information about the Grant program and apply for a grant to install small water quality protection measures on your land contact the NH Department of Agriculture by clicking here.

     These files are currently being hosted at this web site to facilitate changes and/or updates as needed during this initial use and review period and to allow easy addition of more guidance information.  Much Thanks to the NH Department of Agriculture for funding this effort.
