Pond
Potential Deliverables:
  • Pond construction completed at the specified area

  • Rule 1 (Environmental Compliance): Any associated ESA, cultural resources, NEPA, permitting, or other environmental compliance work should be split out under 165. Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation.

    Example:

    WE: 35. Develop Pond
    WE Title: Develop pond on Johnson property
    WE Description: Develop 5 acre pond on Johnson property for put and take fishery.

    WE: 165. Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation
    WE Title: Permitting, NEPA compliance, and cultural resource surveys
    WE Description: Obtain permits and NEPA compliance, and conduct cultural resource surveys prior to building pond.

  • Rule 2 (Location of Work): If you are constructing ponds at more than one location, you may lump multiple locations in a single subbasin 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. Note that different locations do not need to be separated into multiple environmental compliance work elements.

    Example:

    WE: 35. Develop Pond
    WE Title: Develop pond on Johnson property
    WE Description: Develop 5 acre pond on Johnson property for put and take fishery.

    WE: 35. Develop Pond
    WE Title: Develop ponds on Smith and Jones properties
    WE Description: Develop 17 acre pond on Smith property and 11 acre pond on Jones property to benefit waterfowl. Both ponds are in Fishy Subbasin.
