Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
162	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total acres identified in the purchase.) -Upland: Habitat upslope of the riparian and instream habitat zone with non-hydrophilic plants, unless part of an isolated wetland, which occurs outside the hyporheic, or floodplain/riparian zone. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas. For more information consult the USFWS National Wetland Inventory at http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/ or EPA wetland information at http://www.epa.gov/wetlands/.	5
363	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total length fenced times the average buffer width.) -Upland: Habitat upslope of the riparian and instream habitat zone with non-hydrophilic plants, unless part of an isolated wetland, which occurs outside the hyporheic, or floodplain/riparian zone. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas.

377	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total acres identified in the lease.) -Upland: Habitat upslope of the riparian and instream habitat zone with non-hydrophilic plants, unless part of an isolated wetland, which occurs outside the hyporheic, or floodplain/riparian zone. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.

92. Lease Land	Active	Includes riparian, grazing, and multiple-use leases, typically for multiple years.	2010		377	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total acres identified in the lease.) -Upland: Habitat upslope of the riparian and instream habitat zone with non-hydrophilic plants, unless part of an isolated wetland, which occurs outside the hyporheic, or floodplain/riparian zone. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.

5. Land Purchase and/or Conservation Easement	Expired	This is a BPA Internal-use only work element. BPA uses this work element to describe directly wiring money to escrow associated with real estate transactions. This work element only covers the purchase price or option of the land or easement (it may include escrow, title, and/or closing costs). Any work performed by BPA's Transmission Business Line (TBL) in support of the real estate transactions shall be covered by 6. TBL Work (also a BPA Internal-use only work element). Any stewardship payments shall be covered by [[Work Element:200]]	2010	2017	162	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total acres identified in the purchase.) -Upland: Habitat upslope of the riparian and instream habitat zone with non-hydrophilic plants, unless part of an isolated wetland, which occurs outside the hyporheic, or floodplain/riparian zone. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.

40. Install Fence	Expired	Work to install various types of fence and/or gates for habitat improvement. If applicable, include cattle guards or water gaps for livestock as part of the deliverable. For riparian fencing, BPA recommends project sponsors include 50+ foot riparian buffers, or wider, based on the stream type, site specific dynamics, and current research. This work is not generally intended to be used for upland fencing for pasture rotation purposes. Upland fencing for fish will be considered on a case by case basis. Upland fencing is authorized for parcels managed for wildlife if this is part of a management plan to exclude livestock. 40. Install Fence should not be used for non-habitat purposes such as securing equipment or property; instead, use a milestone under the work element for which the property or equipment is used. 40. Install Fence should not be used for protection of new plantings; instead, use a milestone under 47. Plant Vegetation or 198. Maintain Vegetation. If work is to repair a fence or exclusion device, use 186. Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure . If a lease or other land use agreement of greater than 15 years is completed as part of the fence installation, you must also use 92. Lease Land in addition to 40. Install Fence (i.e., if you have an agreement for less than 15 years, only use 40. Install Fence). For a renewal of a lease or land use agreement that extends the period of protection, you must use 92. Lease Land instead of 40. Install Fence.	2010	2010	363	Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the upland habitat zone.
