Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
112	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located in upland areas, the acres you claim here may overlap with the acres you claim as upland. Because wetland is a subset of upland, we will assume the upland acres represent the total acres treated.	55
31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	31, 47, 52, 53, 180

31. Conduct Controlled Burn	Expired	Use of fire to improve habitat.	2005	2009	31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	Required	Yes	No	Yes	C.6.h.3	Acres treated for upland vegetation management
ITS Action Category: Floodplain/Wetland Improvement ITS Metric: Amount of floodplain reconnected
47. Plant Vegetation	Expired	Use during the first year (and only first year) of planting terrestrial or aquatic vegetation and/or seed (aerially, mechanically, and/or manually). Use for wildlife cover and forage enhancement, restoring native vegetative communities and habitat, including wildlife, protect pollinators, enhance or create pollinator habitat, erosion control and soil stabilization, roughness recruitment, shading, wildfire restoration, and rehabilitating removed roads/trails. Do not use for site stabilization/restoration immediately following construction. Post-construction planting/seeding should be a milestone in a construction work element. All maintenance activities (irrigation, site prep, survival survey) which occur during the same contract period as planting/seeding should be included in this WE as milestones. See associated work elements and notes for this 47. Plant Vegetation for more guidance.	2005	2009	31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	Required	Yes	No	Yes	C.8.c.3	Acres of wetland planted
ITS Action Category: Floodplain/Wetland Improvement ITS Metric: Amount of floodplain reconnected
52. Remove Mine Tailings	Expired	Work to remove or re-contour remnant landscape effects from old mining operations. Could be terrestrial or aquatic in nature. If work also creates wetland or modifies channel use 181. Create, Restore, and/or Enhance Wetland and 30. Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel.	2005	2009	31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	Required	Yes	No	No
53. Remove Vegetation	Expired	Removal of one or more plant species, or a number of individuals of a plant species, by mechanical, biological, and/or chemical means, or by controlled burn. Target species are often exotic or non-native plants, naturalized plants, or undesirable native plants, all of which may be considered to be noxious, invasive or "weeds". Includes the removal of both aquatic and terrestrial plants as well as tree stand manipulation due to encroachment or to create forage openings.	2005	2009	31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	Required	Yes	No	Yes	C.8.d.3	Acres of wetland treated
ITS Action Category: Riparian Habitat Improvement ITS Metric: Miles of fencing
55. Erosion and Sedimentation Control	Expired	This is work that occurs in the riparian and upland zones, which may include the installation of water bars, gully plugs and culvert outlets, grassed waterways, grade stabilization structures, sediment catchment ponds/basins, regrading or terracing, and removal of drainage pipes and other blockages specifically to prevent erosion, sediment slumps, or landslides. This WE does not include improvements to roads or the planting of vegetation in applications other than surface soils stabilization. For that work, use 38. Improve Road for Instream Habitat Benefits or 47. Plant Vegetation, respectively.	2005	2009	112	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located in upland areas, the acres you claim here may overlap with the acres you claim as upland. Because wetland is a subset of upland, we will assume the upland acres represent the total acres treated.	Required	Yes	No	No
ITS Action Category: Floodplain/Wetland Improvement ITS Metric: Amount of floodplain reconnected
180. Enhance Floodplain/Remove, Modify, Breach Dike	Expired	This work element is intended for the full or partial removal, breaching, lowering, and/or relocation/set-back of artificial levees or dikes adjacent to streams and estuaries for the purpose of floodplain, riparian habitat improvements. This WE may be the main emphasis of a stream habitat restoration project, or it may be a component of a broader set of techniques implemented in concert which collectively define a project. When this WE is used, the contract must also include 175. Produce Design . If the work includes improvement of fish passage into upstream reaches of the existing channel, then use 84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired) , 85. Remove/Breach Fish Passage Barrier , or 184. Install Fish Passage Structure . If work is to create, restore, or enhance wetland function then use 181. Create, Restore, and/or Enhance Wetland .	2008	2009	31	Wetland is defined as meeting the federal standard for wetland delineation under the Clean Water Act. Because wetlands can be located either in riparian or upland areas, the acres you claim here should overlap with the acres you claim as upland and/or riparian. To determine total acres treated, we will sum the upland and riparian acreage.	Required	Yes	No	No
