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.
Covers work that installs a siphon, flume, or other structure to separate canal flow from stream flow where the two have been intermingled as part of past water diversion development, resulting in fish using the natural stream course for passage and rearing. If additional fish barriers are needed, include these as a milestone. This WE is specific to modifying existing structures; the design of these structures is typically a separate work element and should use 175. Produce Design.
Rule 2 (Location of Work):
You may lump multiple siphon 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 different locations do not require multiple Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation work elements.
Examples:
Option 1 (lumping):
WE:80. Install Siphon (Expired) WE Title: Install siphons at 3 locations in Big River subbasin WE Description: Install siphons at Corn Creek RM 7, Corn Creek RM 19, and Asparagus Creek RM 4. All siphons are in Big River subbasin.
Option 2 (splitting):
WE:80. Install Siphon (Expired) WE Title: Install siphons at 2 locations on Corn Creek in Big River subbasin WE Description: Install siphons at Corn Creek RM 7 and RM 19.
WE:80. Install Siphon (Expired) WE Title: Install siphon at Thirsty Creek in Small River subbasin WE Description: Install siphon at Thirsty Creek RM 9 in Small River subbasin.
Rule 3 (Metrics):
If the siphon(s) being installed is 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: Coronary Creek is being restored as part of a basin wide effort to open up tributary habitat. Historically, fish passage on Coronary Creek was impeded in several places by irrigation diversions. At two locations, irrigation canals intersected with the Creek. This project involves installing a siphon where Corn Canal intersects Coronary Creek. However, Corn Canal Water Users' Association has a water right to Coronary Creek. To satisfy that right, the project will also install a diversion on Coronary Creek to divert water into Corn Canal. Associated with this diversion will be fish passage protective facilities, including a fish ladder and fish screens. Use the following work elements:
Rule 4 (Complexity):
If pre-implementation work is minor, it may be lumped in with an implementation work element. If pre-implementation work is significant, or if the project is complex and/or large-scale (e.g., capital construction), work that enables or facilitates actual implementation (e.g., land access or purchase, feasibility, design, and construction management) will likely be separate work elements. For example, if your project is installing a large-scale fish ladder, you must complete several other related work elements.
Example:
WE:175. Produce Design WE Title: Produce design for Corn Creek siphon and new diversion installation.
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.

No
If excess irrigation flows return water to stream and provide access for fish to enter irrigation canal/ditch behind fish screens, a fish barrier must be installed. These fish exclusion barriers could be a fish screen or a jump/velocity barrier.
Identify point at each location where installation will take place. 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
