Introduction to the Standards Oversight council
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.
The Council oversees the interagency process that develops, maintains and distributes quality technical standards in Wisconsin. SOC does not write standards, we facilitate the process. 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.
The Technical Standards Process Handbook (TSPH) is the primary reference for SOC and outlines the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the process.
