DESCRIPTION
Perform a reach-level assessment of the lower reach of Icicle Creek, which extends from the confluence with the Wenatchee River to the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery (2.8 river miles).
This reach is utilized by chinook, steelhead, sockeye, and bull trout, and is the focus of coho reestablishment efforts by the Yakama Nation. We propose to perform an assessment of lower Icicle Creek and synthesize data obtained together with existing information to develop a restoration and protection strategy for the reach. Completion of the assessment, and a restoration and protection strategy will facilitate coordinated efforts to restore floodplain function in the lower Icicle. This was done on the lowest reach of Icicle Creek, just below the Hatchery down to the mouth.
