I am preparing an additional section for a drainage manual that includes supplemental criteria. I would like to use images from the NRCS NEH-630 and possibly an example that they have provided. However, I am not sure on the copy right status of that document. Does any one know?
I do not see any copy right information on the document, but I did find this on their website:
"Most information presented on the USDA Web site is considered public domain information. Public domain information may be freely distributed or copied, but use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested. Attribution may be cited as follows: "U. S. Department of Agriculture."

Such materials are used by USDA with permission, and USDA has made every attempt to identify and clearly label them.

I assume that means that everything that the USDA provides is public domain except for material that they use or cite.
