Standards Oversight Council

Introduction to SOC

Many federal, state, and local agencies in Wisconsin rely on the same technical standards to implement numerous conservation programs. SOC is composed of personnel from cooperating agencies and organizations in the state involved with developing technical standards and the delivery of soil and water conservation programs.

Note that SOC does not write standards, but only oversees the interagency process that develops, maintains and distributes quality technical standards in Wisconsin. SOC members represent the primary responsible parties in the technical standards process. They are also authorized to appoint individuals to represent their respective organization for participation in any technical standard activity.
