White Creek,a 3rd order tributary of the Klickitat River, 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. The project reach occurs along the mainstem of White Creek between RM 3 and RM 6 and will involve treatment of 18 sites. This area is in the top tier ("A" priority) of priority geographic areas in the Klickitat Lead Entity Region Salmon Recovery Strategy. The proposed project addresses limiting habitat features identified for this reach associated with bed degradation, pool structure, and LWD abundance. The proposed project will restore channel complexity through enhancement of existing pools and construction of multiple LWD jams. The project is aimed at improving rearing habitat of Tier 1 priority species (summer and winter steelhead) identified in the Recovery Strategy, but is anticipated to benefit adult holding and spawning habitat as well.
