Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
265	Add length treated on both sides when both sides are treated. Add one side when one side is treated. Normally, riparian habitat protection is intended for the benefit of fish.; Riparian: A riparian zone is the transition zone between aquatic and upland habitat typically within a rivers floodplain. These habitats are related to and influenced by surface or subsurface waters, especially the margins of streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, seeps, and ditches between land and a stream; and above the average high watermark, or bank full height. Plant communities along the river and lake margins are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants. This includes floodplain habitat, which may be restored to properly functioning conditions. (This excludes floodplain habitat influenced by the tides, which is classified as "Estuarine Habitat" for Pisces).; Non-Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as non-wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are not inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of non-hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in dry soil conditions. ;	47

47. Plant Vegetation	Expired	Use during the first year (and only first year) of planting terrestrial or aquatic vegetation and/or seed (aerially, mechanically, and/or manually). Use for wildlife cover and forage enhancement, restoring native vegetative communities and habitat, including wildlife, protect pollinators, enhance or create pollinator habitat, erosion control and soil stabilization, roughness recruitment, shading, wildfire restoration, and rehabilitating removed roads/trails. Do not use for site stabilization/restoration immediately following construction. Post-construction planting/seeding should be a milestone in a construction work element. All maintenance activities (irrigation, site prep, survival survey) which occur during the same contract period as planting/seeding should be included in this WE as milestones. See associated work elements and notes for this 47. Plant Vegetation for more guidance.	2011	2010	265	Add length treated on both sides when both sides are treated.
