                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
   CHAPTER 40--SOIL INFORMATION ASSISTANCE FOR COMMUNITY PLANNING AND 
                          RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
 
Sec. 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.
