The Yakama Nation Fisheries Upper Columbia Habitat Restoration Project is working with the Washington State Department of Transportation and the U.S. Forest Service to address fish habitat and highway stability concerns along the Lake Wenatchee Highway (SR 207) near Cole’s Corner in Chelan County, Washington.
The public is invited to participate in an open house style meeting to learn about Lake Wenatchee Highway realignment alternatives and the purpose and need for salmon habitat restoration in Nason Creek.
Two information sessions will be offered: Session 1 from 3:00-4:50 pm, and Session 2 from 5:00-7:00 pm Location: Lake Wenatchee Rec Club – 14400 Chiwawa Loop Rd. on Tuesday March 21st.
In 2022 Yakama Nation Fisheries updated a feasibility study and alternatives analysis that examines possible ways to protect and recover productive salmon habitat in Nason Creek while also decreasing risks to roadway infrastructure caused by frequent flooding and creek hydraulics.
The outcomes of the 2022 alternatives analysis and information about project next steps will be provided at this public meeting.
