2 For over 75 years, the Natural Resources Conservation Service has been a pioneer in conservation, working with landowners, local and state governments, and other federal agencies to maintain healthy and productive working landscapes. On April 27, 1935 Congress establish the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) as a permanent agency in the USDA. In 1994, Congress changed SCS s name to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to better reflect the broadened scope

3 The creation of the Soil Conservation Service represented the culmination of the efforts of Hugh Hammond Bennett, father of Soil Conservation and the first Chief of SCS, to awaken public concern for the problem of soil erosion. Soil has long been confused with land. It is but one part of land. For conservation purposes, land must be regarded in terms of all its component parts: soil, slope, climate, susceptibility to depreciation by erosion, over-cropping or other processes of deterioration.

15 Objectives of the NRCS National Enterprise Elevation Program (NEEP): Create and Maintain a National High Resolution Elevation Datamart that meets NRCS business requirements Deploy value added elevation products and services via the web & for desktop apps Integrate high resolution elevation data into business workflows and applications that are plug and play like Conservation Toolkit & Engineering Field Tools & Terrain Mapping

16 Rasters - DTM, DSM, Hillshade, Slope, Aspect Vectors 2 foot Contours indexed with labels LiDAR Products & Services NRCS conducted a study in 2010 led by Dr David F Maune, Dewberry to document elevation requirements, publish a white paper and funding and implementation plan. The National Enterprise Elevation Program (NEEP) is being built to achieve the outcomes and goals of the program. The products from NEEP are. Web Based that are fast and reliable Point Clouds - LAS shown as points, TIN, Contours
