Reclamation Design Standards
Reclamation Design Standards establish Reclamation technical requirements and processes to enable preparation of designs, documents, and reports necessary to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. Reclamation design activities, whether performed by Reclamation or by a non-Reclamation entity, must be performed in accordance with Reclamation design criteria and standards. Deviations from Reclamation criteria and standards shall be submitted in accordance with Reclamation Manual Directive and Standard, "Design Activities," FAC 03-03. The use of Reclamation design criteria and standards outside of Reclamation is entirely voluntary.
Users should integrate sound engineering judgment, applicable national codes and design standards, site-specific technical considerations, and project-specific considerations to ensure suitable designs are produced that protect the public's investment and safety. Reference to any specific commercial product, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise does not constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by Reclamation. Reclamation Design Standards may not be used for advertising or promotional purposes and are not to be construed as an endorsement of any product by Reclamation.
