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 the installation and/or creation of structures for the benefit of wildlife species, including, but not limited to, nest boxes/platforms, avian perches, snags, guzzlers, and artificial roosting sites.
The establishment of habitat feature locations can be milestones under this work element, or they can be covered under a separate work element if you are developing a restoration or a habitat management plan to guide your efforts. In this latter scenario, use 174. Produce Plan to cover the development of the plan.
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.
Rule 2 (Location of Work):
If you are developing terrestrial habitat features at various locations, you may lump multiple locations under a single work element if the locations are all in the same subbasin. However, you may wish to break the work into separate work elements if it provides clarity or better supports project management. Note that this does not require multiple work elements for 165. Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation.
Example:
WE:36. Develop Terrestrial Habitat Features WE Title: Install wood duck nest boxes at various locations in Flighty Subbasin. WE Description: Construct and install 6 wood duck nest boxes along the perimeter of Sally's Pond on the Smith property and 10 boxes along the perimeter of Beaver Swamp.
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.
Develop agreements with landowners
Suggested
No
Establish locations at which to develop habitat features
Identify point at each structure or group of structures. You may enter more than one point for this work element. If a location already exists in Pisces, click the "Link" button to synchronize locations.
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
