Tepee Creek, a tributary to White Creek in the Klickitat River subbasin, provides important spawning and rearing habitat for ESA-listed Mid Columbia River steelhead. The White Creek watershed as a whole is likely the most important spawning and rearing tributary watershed within the Klickitat subbasin. In recent years, the White Creek watershed has accounted for up to 40% of the observed steelhead spawning in the entire Klickitat subbasin. Tepee Creek has accounted for up to 21% of the observed spawning in the Klickitat subbasin in recent years, however in most years it likely accounts for between 5% and 10%. This project will replace 3 partial barriers to restore juvenile access to 8.7 miles of upstream habitat. Because of the very low to nonexistent base flow conditions at many spawning areas, post-emergence movement by steelhead fry and juveniles is critical to their survival. Access to refugia (in the form of perennially-flowing stream reaches or remnant pools in otherwise dry reaches) is necessary for successful rearing within this watershed.
