Hancock Creek is a one mile long, spring fed creek that connects to the Methow River. This area has the highest density of spawning ESA-listed spring Chinook and steelhead in the basin. The site was previously used for livestock grazing but is currently protected under a conservation easement. The unique hydrologic conditions of Hancock Creek provide favorable conditions for ESA-listed species including cool summer temperatures, warm winter temperature, high fall flows, and accessible rearing and spawning habitats. This umbrella project is a systematic, phased approach to recover natural stream processes in this creek to continue and increase the benefits to anadromous fishes. Phase 1 of the project converted the surface water right to a groundwater right and drilled a new well, established three rocked watering points for livestock, and replaced the undersized culverts were replaced. Phase 2 of the project enhanced and opened up nearly one mile of critical rearing and spawning habitat. During phase 2 a total of 2.01 miles of instream habitat was treated, 20 pools were created, and a total of 4 riparian acres were treated. Phase 3 focused on improving the channel structure in the upper end of Hancock creek and adding instream complexity features to further improve the channel. Finally, phase 4 incorporated the lessons learned from previous phases to restore 730 m of the channel to a narrow, sinuous, and complex channel.
