Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
270	The number of mine tailing full barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the estuarine zone. (Note: If distance between barriers is greater than half a mile, use two WE.) -Full barrier: A complete barrier to fish migration, preventing passage for all life history stages. -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 near shore marine zone. This includes habitat impacted by the highest high and lowest low tides of a year. Estuaries are environments in which 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.	52

52. Remove Mine Tailings	Active	Work to remove or re-contour remnant landscape effects from old mining operations. Could be terrestrial or aquatic in nature. If work also creates wetland or modifies channel use 181. Create, Restore, and/or Enhance Wetland and 30. Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel.	2011		270	The number of mine tailing full barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the estuarine zone.
