Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
249	To avoid double-counting, if you are both blocking and scarifying/ripping or recontouring a road, report this metric as zero and report the # of miles treated in the metric for scarifying/ripping or recontouring. If you are decommissioning by blocking alone, report the # of miles decommissioned here. The length of road or trail blocked in the upland 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. -Blocked: Placement of a physical barrier (gates, boulders, ditches, etc.) to prevent vehicle access. -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.	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		249	To avoid double-counting, if you are both blocking and scarifying/ripping or recontouring a road, report this metric as zero and report the # of miles treated in the metric for scarifying/ripping or recontouring.
