Metric Guidance

Metric Guidance ID	Description	Used on Work Elements
403	This is required when O&M maintains vegetation to support growth for beneficial plant species. Identify the total acres of habitat treated. The treatment area is the unit area where maintenance techniques are applied. (Spot treatment of chemicals or other techniques should only report the area chemicals are actually applied.) 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.	22, 197, 198

22. Maintain Vegetation	Active	Your objective is to maintain or enhance planted or pre-existing vegetation through activities such as plant competition reduction (scalping, mats), mowing, irrigation, fertilization, herbicide application, or the prevention or reduction of animal damage (browse repellents, tree tubes). This includes using different, or the same, treatment techniques in previously treated areas the second year, or later, of planting. Maintenance activities which occur during the first (initial) year of planting (such as installing tree tubes, fertilizing, animal repellents, etc.) should be a milestone under 47. Plant Vegetation.	2011		403	This is required when O&M maintains vegetation to support growth for beneficial plant species. Identify the total acres of habitat treated. The treatment area is the unit area where maintenance techniques are applied. (Spot treatment of chemicals or other techniques should only report the area chemicals are actually applied.) 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.	Required	Yes	Yes	No

197. Maintain/Remove Vegetation	Active	Maintain or remove all or part of an aquatic or terrestrial plant community. Use this WE for your first year of removing vegetation or any subsequent years of maintenance on the same land. Work can include different, or the same, treatment techniques as in previously treated areas. Activities include: 1) Removing undesirable exotic, non-native, or naturalized plants, generally considered noxious, invasive, or weed species. Work may involve one or more plant species, and includes mechanical, biological, and/or chemical means, as well as controlled burns. 2) Reducing/controlling competing undesirable or native vegetation by tilling, mowing, scalping, addition of mats, fertilization, herbicide application, tree/shrub thinning, and/or controlled burns. 3) Preventing or reducing animal damage with browse repellents, tree tubes/protectors, etc. 4) Maintaining or enhancing the health of target species or ecosystem by irrigation, limbing/thinning, sun protectors, controlled burns, and other activities. 5) Inter-planting or re-seeding an existing site if needed due to mortality or lack of vigor . Work to restore Shrub-Steppe habitats anywhere in the basin should follow the Shrub-Steppe and Grassland Restoration Manual for the Columbia River Basin: http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01330/wdfw01330.pdf.	2012		403	This is required when O&M maintains vegetation to support growth for beneficial plant species. Identify the total acres of habitat treated. The treatment area is the unit area where maintenance techniques are applied. (Spot treatment of chemicals or other techniques should only report the area chemicals are actually applied.) 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.	Required	Yes	No	No
ITS Action Category: Riparian Habitat Improvement ITS Metric: Area/length of riparia protected
198. Maintain Vegetation	Active	Maintain planted or pre-existing vegetation through physical, chemical, mechanical, and/or biological activities such as scalping, installing mats or mulch, mowing, irrigating, fertilizing, applying herbicide(s), burning, using Integrated Pest Management (IPM), preventing or reducing animal damage (browse repellents, tree tubes). This includes using different, or the same, treatment techniques in previously treated areas the second year, or later, of planting. Vegetation maintenance activities which occur during the first (initial) year of planting (such as installing tree tubes, fertilizing, animal repellents, etc.) should be a milestone under 47. Plant Vegetation.	2014		403	This is required when O&M maintains vegetation to support growth for beneficial plant species. Identify the total acres of habitat treated. The treatment area is the unit area where maintenance techniques are applied. (Spot treatment of chemicals or other techniques should only report the area chemicals are actually applied.) 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.
