Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
255	Identify the number of water bars installed in the treated area. Treated area is defined as the construction footprint. - A water bar or interceptor dyke is a shallow ditch dug across a road or trail at an angle to prevent excessive flow down the road or trail surface and erosion of road or trail surface materials. A small excavation across a road or trail to collect and divert road or trail surface water flow.	38, 55

38. Improve Road for Instream Habitat Benefits	Active	Work designed to eliminate or reduce erosion, sediment, and/or toxic run-off from reaching streams, rivers, or wetlands from roads or trails currently in use. This includes road projects that reduce or eliminate inter-basin transfer of water, placement of structures to contain/ control runoff from roads or trails, road or trail reconstruction or reinforcement, surface and peak-flow drainage improvements, and roadside vegetation. These roads may be in or extend into the riparian zone.	2011		255	Identify the number of water bars installed in the treated area. Treated area is defined as the construction footprint. - A water bar or interceptor dyke is a shallow ditch dug across a road or trail at an angle to prevent excessive flow down the road or trail surface and erosion of road or trail surface materials. A small excavation across a road or trail to collect and divert road or trail surface water flow.	Required	Yes	Yes	Yes	C.6.e.3	Erosion / sediment control installations
ITS Action Category: Fine Sediment ITS Metric: Number of sediment treatments
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.	2011	2010	255	Identify the number of water bars installed in the treated area.
