This assessment was completed at the request of the Icicle Creek Work Group and funded by the WA Department of Ecology with the purpose of providing the scientific basis for identification and development of stream restoration and protection actions for lower Icicle Creek (RM 0.0 – 4.3). Efforts have been underway for years throughout the Wenatchee River Basin to implement actions that benefit Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed salmonids including Upper Columbia River spring-run chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytsha), Upper Columbia River steelhead (Onchorhynchus mykiss), and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus).The lower 3 miles of Icicle Creek is a Minor Spawning Area for spring Chinook, and a Major Spawning Area for steelhead, and includes spawning and rearing habitat for spring Chinook salmon, coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), steelhead and bull trout. This project is one of several potential projects currently being evaluated as part of the Icicle Strategy. This Strategy is being developed by the multi stakeholder Icicle Work Group (IWG), comprised of federal, state, and local agencies; tribes; irrigation districts; the City of Leavenworth; the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery; environmental groups and others. The Strategy is a comprehensive water resource management plan that identifies a set of projects that collectively are intended to meet several water and habitat improvements.
