Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
268	Identify the total acres of habitat treated in the freshwater non-tidal habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the treated habitat zone times the average width of the treated habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft/acre. - Freshwater non-tidal: Habitat with freshwater flowing in a channel or watercourse, including lakes, ponds, and adjacent areas below the high water mark that is not subject to the tidal influence of the estuarine zone.	52
