Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
318	The length of dike treated, or removed in miles. Report the full length of dike removed to match natural conditions. If the dike was breached report the cumulative length of openings created.; Riparian: A riparian zone is the transition zone between aquatic and upland habitat typically within a rivers floodplain. These habitats are related to and influenced by surface or subsurface waters, especially the margins of streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, seeps, and ditches between land and a stream; and above the average high watermark, or bank full height. Plant communities along the river and lake margins are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants. This includes floodplain habitat, which may be restored to properly functioning conditions. (This excludes floodplain habitat influenced by the tides, which is classified as ""Estuarine Habitat"" for Pisces).; Full removal: removes the full length of dike in the project area such that full connectivity and full functionality is restored. ;	180

180. Enhance Floodplain/Remove, Modify, Breach Dike	Active	This work element is intended for the full or partial removal, breaching, lowering, and/or relocation/set-back of artificial levees or dikes adjacent to streams and estuaries for the purpose of floodplain, riparian habitat improvements. This WE may be the main emphasis of a stream habitat restoration project, or it may be a component of a broader set of techniques implemented in concert which collectively define a project. When this WE is used, the contract must also include 175. Produce Design . If the work includes improvement of fish passage into upstream reaches of the existing channel, then use 84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired) , 85. Remove/Breach Fish Passage Barrier , or 184. Install Fish Passage Structure . If work is to create, restore, or enhance wetland function then use 181. Create, Restore, and/or Enhance Wetland .	2011		318	The length of dike treated, or removed in miles. Report the full length of dike removed to match natural conditions.
