Engineering Software

The public can obtain NRCS software from the NRCS Technical Tools Website. The software provided in the table below are for use on NRCS platforms. The public should download the non-NRCS versions at the site listed above.

NRCS employees can access NRCS nationally approved software from the Information Technology Services staff (ITS).  Support for NRCS nationally approved engineering software should be obtained through the State Conservation Engineer.

The table below contains the approved list of NRCS engineering software for use in Montana. This list is dynamic and will be updated as existing software is revised and new software is added to the list.

If you encounter any problems with the files provided on this page, please contact Bruce Krueger at 406-587-6834.
