Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
289	The number of small scale push-up or diversion dam full barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the estuarine zone. -Small scale push-up or diversion dam: An earthen push-up dam or small scale concrete diversion dam constructed to divert water for irrigation or hydropower that impairs fish passage. -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 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.	85

85. Remove/Breach Fish Passage Barrier	Active	Work that facilitates fish passage over a human-made barrier by breaching or removal without replacement. This includes dams, weirs, fish ladders, tidegates, culverts, bridges, and road crossings. If the dam is part of a diversion, use 208. Irrigation Infrastructure Construction or Replacement. If installing a fish passage structure at the same location, use 184. Install Fish Passage Structure, and have removal of the passage barrier as a milestone under that work element.	2011		289	The number of small scale push-up or diversion dam full barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the estuarine zone. -Small scale push-up or diversion dam: An earthen push-up dam or small scale concrete diversion dam constructed to divert water for irrigation or hydropower that impairs fish passage. -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 nearshore marine zone.
