82. Install Well	Active	Install well to enable groundwater to be used for irrigation as an alternative to instream flow. Wells installed to provide water for livestock should be covered under 34. Develop Alternative Water Source. Wells installed to provide hatchery or acclimation water supplies should be covered under 171. Build, Modify, and/or Refurbish Artificial Production Facility. If a well is being installed to provide water instream, also use 154. Develop and Negotiate Water Right Transaction and 164. Acquire Water Instream.	2005		69	This work is designed to eliminate an irrigation diversion or to provide irrigation efficiencies. The # of miles refers to the distance (0.1 miles) from the point of diversion being addressed to the confluence of the next major order stream. The term "total" includes both primary and secondary stream reaches.	Required	Yes	Yes	Yes	C.3.b	Length of stream 'protected' for adequate flow
ITS Action Category: Flow Enhancement/Protection ITS Metric: Miles of stream enhanced with flow
149. Install Pipeline	Active	Includes activities related to installing a pipeline . This work element is only for work designed to provide irrigation efficiencies which result in increased instream flow. Other options should have already been considered to accomplish this purpose, such as water transactions or obtaining cost-share for this work element and subsequently transferring conserved water instream. To cover initial work to put conserved water instream, including coordinating with the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program, also use 154. Develop and Negotiate Water Right Transaction and 164. Acquire Water Instream. If the pipeline is part of a larger irrigation consolidation project that involves eliminating a diversion, then you must also use 84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired). WE#149, Install Pipeline is often used in conjunction with 150. Install Sprinkler (Expired). In these cases, be careful not to double-count metrics. Avoid this by entering metrics only for 149. Install Pipeline (Expired), not 150. Install Sprinkler (Expired). If the purpose of the pipeline is to provide water to livestock, use 34. Develop Alternative Water Source instead.	2005		69	This work is designed to eliminate an irrigation diversion or to provide irrigation efficiencies.

164. Acquire Water Instream	Active	Covers final aspects to complete implementation of water transactions through the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program process to maintain and/or increase the flow of water to provide needed habitat conditions. Work includes steps for payment of funds to water right holder and/or completion of agreement for securing protected water instream. The work element involves the purchase or transfer of water rights for instream purposes, and these water allocations are not withdrawn from the stream. This work element is generally linked with 154. Develop and Negotiate Water Right Transaction. This work element may be linked with 208. Irrigation Infrastructure Construction or Replacement for purposes of legally transferring conserved water instream. Entities using these irrigation efficiency work elements and putting water instream should coordinate with the CBWTP to complete a CBWTP water transaction checklist to ensure conserved flow is put instream and this work element is used to collect metrics for the amount of flow secured instream. See www.cbwtp.org for more information regarding the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program. This work element may often be used in a separate contract, such as a contract under the CBWTP, instead of the contract with irrigation efficiency work elements due to the time involved for the conserved water application to be processed through the state water agency. This work element may also be used to transfer water rights instream that were secured from an earlier land transaction if the water rights were not dedicated to instream purposes at the time of acquiring the land and putting the water rights instream is consistent with the fish and wildlife purposes.	2005		68	The # of miles refers to the distance (0.1 miles) from the point of diversion being addressed by the acquisition to the confluence. The term total includes both primary and secondary stream reaches. The term acquisition refers to either the lease or the purchase of water.

208. Irrigation Infrastructure Construction or Replacement	Active	All actions related to the construction and installation of irrigation infrastructure for the purpose of fish and wildlife conservation. Includes fish screens (and related infrastructure such as concrete, gantries, solar panels, bypass pipe, etc.), headgates, flow measuring devices, irrigation diversions, siphons, wells, piping, pumps, and fish passage structures associated with irrigation diversions. The design of complex or large-scale screens is typically a separate work element. See 175. Produce Design. In known or potential lamprey habitat use guidance from these documents: Guidelines to Minimize Impacts and Maximize Benefits for Native Lamprey During In-water Work https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm Pacific Lamprey Habitat Restoration Guide https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm. Lamprey presence can be determined from Data Basin map https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm. This map does not show all distribution due to limited data. Pre-project lamprey surveys should be done (see USFWS lamprey Guidelines document) if the map does not show presence.	2021		69	This work is designed to eliminate an irrigation diversion or to provide irrigation efficiencies.
