This page presents detailed associations and definitions for this Work Element. Information on how this Work Element is being used in BPA field work is also included.
Includes activities related to installing a sprinkler system. This work element is only for work designed to provide irrigation efficiencies which result in increased instream flow. Thus, other options should have already been considered to accomplish this purpose, such as water transactions or obtaining cost-share for this work element and subsequently transferring conserved water instream. To cover initial work to put conserved water instream, including coordinating with the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program, also use 154. Develop and Negotiate Water Right Transaction and 164. Acquire Water Instream.
Sprinkler systems are pressurized, meaning it will often be necessary to provide a pump system if gravity is not adequate. If you are removing a push-up diversion and a pump is installed as an alternative diversion for the sprinkler system, use 84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired).
If designing the sprinkler system involves significant technical detail or engineering specifications, use 175. Produce Design.
Rule 2 (Location of Work):
If the project involves installing multiple sprinklers at different sites, split out each site as a separate work element because the metrics will be different for each.
Rule 3 (Metrics):
If the sprinkler system is being installed as part of a connected effort to deal with multiple factors at a single location, each with different metrics, split out each as a separate work element. For example: Cow Creek is being restored as part of a basin-wide effort to open up tributary habitat. Historically, fish passage on Cow Creek was impeded in several places by push up dams. The proposal involves taking out a push up dam, restoring channel conditions, developing a well as an alternative irrigation water source, and putting in a pipeline and sprinkler system to convey the well water to the farm. Use the following work elements:
Example:
WE:150. Install Sprinkler (Expired) WE Title: Install sprinkler system at Johnson Farms WE Description: Pipeline, pump, and sprinkler system will replace old push up dam and ditch.
WE:84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired) WE Title: Remove push up diversion on Cow Creek, RM 14, and replace with pump WE Description: Remove push up dam previously used to provide water for Johnson Farms and replace with a pump for pressurized sprinkler system.
WE:29. Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity WE Title: Add J-hooks and large woody debris at old Johnson dam site. WE Description: J-hooks and LWD will improve channel morphology and stabilize the streambank.
WE:149. Install Pipeline (Expired) WE Title: Install pipeline from new pump on Cow Creek to the 'North 40' sprinkler system. WE Description: Pipeline, pump, and sprinkler system will replace old push up dam and ditch.
On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.

Estimate amount of conserved water to be put instream
Suggested
No
Prepare an estimate of conserved water that will go instream through the state conserved water program. Contact Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program (www.cbwtp.org) for technical assistance.
If conserved water will be put instream, submit draft water transaction checklist to
Suggested
No
Contact the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program to work with a CBWTP local entity to submit a draft water transaction checklist (template located in section 2 at (http://www.cbwtp.org/jsp/cbwtp/program/apply.jsp) for the conserved water.
Coordinate with the CBWTP to have conserved water secured
Suggested
No
The CBWTP qualified local entity (QLE) may provide assistance to ensure conserved water is transferred instream through the applicable state agency.

Applicability and status of the following environmental compliance requirements can be found on the Environmental Compliance tab
for that work element in your SOW for all 2007 contracts forward. BPA's Environmental staff will update and maintain this information
in CBFish in real time, so that you can check the status of environmental compliance on your project at any time.
Note: Many of the fields are set to auto-load in CBFish, but the settings will be reviewed by BPA's Environmental staff prior to the
contract being finalized, and may be revised depending on the specific circumstances.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
NEPA coverage for this work element will be determined by BPA's Environmental staff and could include an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Environmental Assessment (EA), Record of Decision to an existing EIS, or Categorical Exclusion.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
ESA consultation is typically required for this work element.
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
NHPA Section 106 consultation is typically required for this work element which often includes a cultural/historic resource survey by a qualified archaeologist.
Public Involvement
Public involvement is typically not required for this work element.
This work element and its metrics are used in measures in the following reports. These PDF reports are generated dynamically, always showing you the most up to date information. Most of them also have links to download the underlying data sets to structured text or Excel format.
Overview:
Summarizes annual accomplishments of the Habitat portion of the Program in terms of measures or metrics. Includes several tables focused on different dimensions: Habitat Zone, NPCC Province and Subbasin, ESU. Report can be filtered by Fiscal Year, Province or Subbasin, Work Element, Work Status, or Fish Species (ESU) benefitted.
Dimensions:
Habitat Measures, Metrics, Planned and Actual Metric Value, Fiscal Year, Habitat Zone, Work Element, Work Status, NPCC Province, NPCC Subbasin, ESU
Overview:
This drill-down report shows the Program's Habitat Accomplishments from fiscal year 2005 forward. Figures are based on the High Level Indicators identified by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, and aggregate metric data entered by the contractors doing the work on the ground. For past years, these charts show Actual metric values for Completed work; for the current year they show both Actual metric values for Completed work and Planned metric values for Planned and In-Progress work.
Dimensions:
HLI, High Level Indicators (Habitat, Water, Land, Screens, Passage Barriers), Habitat Measures, Work Element, Metric
Overview:
Shows the estimated spending by Focal Species – various anadromous and resident fish and general wildlife category – by fiscal year. Since contractors don’t invoice BPA by work element, much less by focal species, this report allocates project costs by the proportion of the work element budgets and the focal species associated with each work element. This report has two tables: Spending by all Focal Species, and Spending by ESA-Listed Focal Species (a table that allows BPA to meet federal reporting requirements).
Dimensions:
Focal Species, ESA-Listed Fish Species, Direct Spending, Contract Administration Spending, Program Administrative Spending, Account Type (Expense, Capital), Work Element Budgets
Overview:
Rolls up program funding across time by work class such as Habitat, Hatchery, Research Monitoring and Evaluation, Local & Regional Coordination, etc. Includes summary and detail pie charts showing funding levels for various types of work. Provides drill-downs to work element detail.
Dimensions:
Work Class, Work Element, Work Element Budget, Account Type (Expense or Capital), NPCC Province, NPCC Subbasin
