33. Decommission Road/Relocate Road	Expired	Any activity that makes a road or trail unusable including adding berms, pits, boulders or logs, and/or ripping, scarifying, recontouring, or obliterating the road or trail with heavy equipment that may involve re-contouring the slope. Also use for building a road or trail in a more appropriate location to replace a decommissioned road or trail. If decommissioning by planting vegetation or seeding use 47. Plant Vegetation. If removal of fish barrier (e.g., culvert) is included, also use 85. Remove/Breach Fish Passage Barrier, or 184. Install Fish Passage Structure. If work also involves channel realignment, use 30. Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel in addition to this work element.	2005	2010	20	Riparian is defined as above the ordinary high water mark of the stream and within the flood plain of streams. To determine total miles treated, we will sum the upland and riparian mileage.	Required	Yes	No	Yes	C.6.d.2	Miles of road closed / abandoned
ITS Action Category: Riparian Habitat Improvement ITS Metric: Miles of road removed in riparia
38. Improve Road for Instream Habitat Benefits	Expired	Work designed to eliminate or reduce erosion, sediment, and/or toxic run-off from reaching streams, rivers, or wetlands from roads or trails currently in use. This includes road projects that reduce or eliminate inter-basin transfer of water, placement of structures to contain/ control runoff from roads or trails, road or trail reconstruction or reinforcement, surface and peak-flow drainage improvements, and roadside vegetation. These roads may be in or extend into the riparian zone.	2005	2010	20	Riparian is defined as above the ordinary high water mark of the stream and within the flood plain of streams.
