The Coosa River Soil and Water Conservation District is offering the ("Green Book") Manual For Erosion and Sediment Control In Georgia on CD-ROM as a service for those who have requested it, and had a problem in the past obtaining it either online, or the expense, etc.  from an Athens GA print shop (over $60.00 + shipping).  The Manual is available free online for download at www.gaswcc.org (very high speed necessary, preferably DSL).

The CD-ROM of the Manual (all sections separate and in Adobe Acrobat *.pdf format) will be shipped to you via U.S. Mail for shipping and handling charges of $22.50 per disk.  If you wish it sooner, you must provide all information necessary to ship (ie: FedEx Account number and info) to be shipped at your expense, using your shipping account for the same amount as above.  Order Form.

As an added bonus, the National Corrugated Steep Pipe Association (NCSPA) Blue Book "Sewer Design Manual" is included in .pdf format as well.  This publication, in it's previous forms, has been an excellent reference for nearly 20 years.  It is also available free online to download at the NCSPA site.

Additionally, you will find the NRCS Engineering Field Handbook, many NRCS Technical Releases & Guides in design of practices, the RUSLE2 program, the TR55 program, current State Laws (pdf), & the GA Stormwater Management Manual Vols 1 & 2 from the Atlanta Regional Commission.  Note:  these are directly copied from their CD.
