Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
304	The number of culvert partial barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the freshwater non-tidal zone. -Culvert: Conduit used to enclose a flowing body of water. It may be used to allow water to pass underneath a road, railway, or embankment for example. Culverts can be made of many different materials; steel, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and concrete are the most common. -Partial barrier: A barrier to fish migration, preventing passage to specific life history stages. These barriers may be temporal in nature or limit passage due to obstructions, e.g., high flow, low flow, temperature, physical barriers, etc., or other variables that may allow some fish past, but not others. -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 tidal influence.	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		304	The number of culvert partial barriers to fish passage removed at a specified worksite in the freshwater non-tidal zone. -Culvert: Conduit used to enclose a flowing body of water.
