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.
Work that removes, replaces, or avoids creating a fish passage barrier associated with a stream diversion, including push-up dams. May be part of a diversion consolidation effort that reduces the number of diversion sites. Includes installation of alternative ways to divert stream flow without creating passage barriers caused by traditional diversion structures. Examples include, but are not limited to, infiltration galleries, instream diversion pumps, and lay-flat stanchions.
Rule 2 (Location of Work):
If the project involves removing/installing diversions at multiple sites, split each out as a separate work element because the metrics will be different.
Rule 3 (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.
Examples:
Option 1 (lumping):
WE:84. Remove/Install Diversion (Expired) WE Title: Take out push up dam on Corn Creek WE Description: Plan removal of push-up dam, coordinate with landowner and permitting agencies to discuss timing, then arrange for bulldozer to remove push up dam.
Option 2 (splitting):
WE:175. Produce Design WE Title: Lay out specific designs for new water diversion and delivery system at Corn Creek.
Rule 4 (Metrics):
If removing/installing a diversion is part of a connected effort to correct multiple problems at a single location, each with different metrics, split out each as a separate work element. Following from Rules 2 and 3, the implementation pieces of the Corn Creek Diversion Consolidation project would include:
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.
Discuss HIP3 ESA coverage with BPA EC Lead; obtain HIP3 risk determination
Required
No
The EC Lead will determine if work under this work element may be able to have full ESA-coverage (NOAA & USFWS) under the 2013 Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinion (HIP3). The HIP3 has expanded coverage for projects that may pose a moderate to high risk of impacting an ESA-listed species or critical habitat that would normally require a Biological Assessment. For work that qualifies, projects will undergo a review by the BPA-internal Restoration Review Team (RRT). Before conceptual design commences, contact the EC Lead for HIP3 consideration, instruction, and information needs and requirements for coverage eligibility.

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
