Any activity aimed at replacing or maintaining the use of past installed structures. Maintenance includes adjusting structures moved during high flows or other events, and modifying existing structures to ensure that they continue to provide benefit.

• Replaced and/or maintained:
  • large woody debris
  • boulders
  • J-hooks
  • barbs
  • cross veins
  • toe rocks
  • rootwad revetments
  • weirs

Rule 1: Any significant ESA, NEPA, permitting, or other environmental compliance work should be split out under WE# 165, Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation.

Example:

WE: Replace/Maintain Instream Structure
WE Title: Replace large woody debris between RM 38 and RM 42 on the McCloud River.

WE: Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation
WE Title: Obtain local permits and ESA compliance associated with replacing large woody debris on the McCloud River.

Rule 2: If you are replacing and/or maintaining instream structures at 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.

Example:

Option 1 (lumping)

WE: Replace/Maintain Instream Structure
WE Title: Replace large woody debris between RM 13 and RM 16, RM 22 and RM 27, and RM 38 and RM 42 on the McCloud River.

Option 2 (splitting)

WE: Replace/Maintain Instream Structure
WE Title: Replace/maintain large woody debris between RM 13 and RM 16 on Newport River.

WE: Replace/Maintain Instream Structure
WE Title: Replace/maintain large woody debris between RM 22 and RM 27 on Sandy River.
