Tepee Creek, a tributary to White Creek in the Klickitat River subbasin, provides important spawning and rearing habitat for ESA-listed Middle 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. Extensive reaches of Tepee Creek have become incised and are now intermittent in many places that anecdotal evidence suggests were once perennial. The overall project goal is to restore floodplain connectivity using channel platform adjustments and natural bedforms for a 1,700 foot reach immediately downstream of the IXL road crossing. This will increase floodplain storage, reduce severity of active channel hydraulic conditions during high flows, and potentially restore baseflows to this and downstream reaches.
