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.
The inspection, operation, and maintenance of habitat features including, but not limited to, fences, instream structures, passage facilities, sediment control structures, and off-site water developments. Not limited to instream habitat work. This work element is not for work that would increase the footprint of existing habitat structures or features.
Lamprey presence can be determined from Data Basin map https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm. This map does not show all distribution due to limited data. Pre-project lamprey surveys should be done (see USFWS lamprey Guidelines document) if the map does not show presence.
Rule 2 (Location of Work):
If you are operating and maintaining habitat/passage structures in multiple locations, you may lump these under a single work element. However, you may wish to break the work into separate work elements if it provides clarity or better supports project management.
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.
Environmental Compliance followed for duration of work element
Suggested
No
Contractor and sub-contractors shall adhere to all mitigation and conservation measures, terms and conditions, avoidance areas, and best management practices required under environmental laws as directed by BPA.
Ensure that any O&M follows recommendations to minimize adverse impacts to lamprey
Recommended
No
Contractors should plan operations and maintenance to minimize negative impacts to lamprey by following guidance from these documents:
The inspection, replacement and/or maintenance of:
Suggested
No
Large woody debris, Boulders, J-hooks, Barbs, Cross veins, Rootwad revetments, Weirs, Passage conditions, Passage facilities, Fish screens
Removal of silt and/or gravel
Recommended
No
Ensure that any removal of substrate or sediment follows guidelines to protect lamprey. Dredging or removal of substrate can remove and kill multiple year classes of lamprey larvae and juveniles. Where lamprey are present, contractors should follow operation and maintenance guidelines from these documents:
Lamprey presence can be determined from this Data Basin map, https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm, however this map does not show distribution everywhere due to limited data, so pre-project lamprey surveys should be done (as described in the USFWS lamprey Guidelines document) if the map does not show presence.
Develop maintenance agreement with landowner
Suggested
No
Create bid package and advertise sub-contract
Suggested
No
Hire contractor to perform work
Suggested
No
Obtain equipment and supplies required for maintenance
Identify point at each location where O&M activities will place. The location point must be the same for the O&M activities and the structure itself (e.g., fence, fish screen).
If the structure and its location are already in Pisces, click the "Link" button to synchronize locations. You may enter or link more than one point for this work element.
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:
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
