Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
248	The length of road or trail recontoured in the estuary habitat zone (in miles). To calculate the length in miles, divide the total length (in feet) of road or trail treated/removed by 5,280 feet/mile. -Recontoured: Road or trail slope is re-graded to allow for more natural processes. -Estuarine: Habitat that is part of a semi-enclosed coastal body of water that is subject to the ebb and flow of tides, with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the nearshore marine zone. This includes habitat impacted by the highest high and lowest low tides of a year. Estuaries are environments whose pH, salinity, and water levels are subject to the ebb and flow of tides, and the physical and chemical properties of the river that feeds the estuary and the ocean from which it derives its salinity. This habitat includes floodplain/riparian habitat subject to inundation from the tides.	33

33. Decommission Road/Relocate Road	Active	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.	2011		248	The length of road or trail recontoured in the estuary habitat zone (in miles).
