The Electronic Directives System (eDirectives) provides employees of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) immediate access to the most current directives issued by the NRCS.

May, 2008 — Engineering directives, formally stored in the Conservation Engineering Tools and Documents web site (http://www.info.usda.gov/ced/) are now available in the eDirectives site. Documents include the National Engineering Handbook and Manual, as well as various engineering-related technical notes, technical releases,and user guides.

February, 2008 — To have page numbers to print on your directive, click on the Table of Contents and print each section separately. Directives issued between 1999 and 2000 may not have footers. As these directives are updated, footers will be added.
