What is the Reclamation Manual?
The Reclamation Manual (RM) consists of a series of Policies, Directives and Standards, and Delegations of Authority. Collectively, these releases assign program responsibility and establish and document Bureau of Reclamation-wide methods of doing business. All requirements in the RM are mandatory.
RM releases fall into two series: Program and Administrative. Those in the Program series primarily direct and define Reclamation's processes for the operation, maintenance, and use of its projects and facilities. Those in the Administrative series primarily direct and define Reclamation's internal processes and procedures. Each series is divided into subject areas identified by a three-letter alpha code.
For more information on the Reclamation Manual, see RCD P03 and RCD 03-01.
