This page shows which work elements use this metric.

| 432 | Identify the total acres of habitat protected in the estuarine habitat zone. To calculate acres, use a GIS program or approximate the value by multiplying the total length of the protected habitat zone times the average width of the protected habitat zone in feet / divided by 43,560 sq. ft./acre. (Note the total area protected for this WE should roughly equal the total length fenced times the average buffer width.) -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. -Wetland: Habitat designated and regulated as wetland habitat, which is dominated by areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas.

| 40. Install Fence | Active | Work to install various types of fence and/or gates for habitat improvement. If applicable, include cattle guards or water gaps for livestock as part of the deliverable. For riparian fencing, BPA recommends project sponsors include 50+ foot riparian buffers, or wider, based on the stream type, site specific dynamics, and current research. This work is not generally intended to be used for upland fencing for pasture rotation purposes. Upland fencing for fish will be considered on a case by case basis. Upland fencing is authorized for parcels managed for wildlife if this is part of a management plan to exclude livestock. 40. Install Fence should not be used for non-habitat purposes such as securing equipment or property; instead, use a milestone under the work element for which the property or equipment is used. 40. Install Fence should not be used for protection of new plantings; instead, use a milestone under 47. Plant Vegetation or 198. Maintain Vegetation. If work is to repair a fence or exclusion device, use 186. Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure . If a lease or other land use agreement of greater than 15 years is completed as part of the fence installation, you must also use 92. Lease Land in addition to 40. Install Fence (i.e., if you have an agreement for less than 15 years, only use 40. Install Fence). For a renewal of a lease or land use agreement that extends the period of protection, you must use 92. Lease Land instead of 40. Install Fence. |
