Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
276	Identify the total acres of habitat treated in the estuary habitat zone. The treatment area is the construction footprint, plus the estimated catchment area that the treatment is designed to reduce sediment transport export from. (For example the area treated may be the area of a sediment pond, plus the upslope area that drains directly into the pond.) 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. -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 nearshore marine zone. This includes habitat impacted by the highest high and lowest low tides of a year. Estuaries are environments whose 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.	55

55. Erosion and Sedimentation Control	Active	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		276	Identify the total acres of habitat treated in the estuary habitat zone.
