  • San Mateo County
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of San Mateo County San Pedro San Pedro Creek flows northwesterly, entering the Pacific Ocean at Pacifica State Beach. It drains a watershed about eight square miles in area. The upper portions of the drainage contain springs (feeding the south and middle forks) that produce perennial flow in the creek. Documents with information regarding steelhead in the San Pedro Creek watershed may refer to the North Fork San Pedro Creek and the Sanchez Fork. For purposes of this report, these tributaries are considered as part of the mainstem. A 1912 letter regarding San Mateo County streams indicates that San Pedro Creek was stocked. A fishway also is noted on the creek (Smith 1912). Titus et al. (in prep.) note DFG records of steelhead spawning in the creek in 1941. In 1968, DFG staff estimated that the San Pedro Creek steelhead run consisted of 100 individuals (Wood 1968). A 1973 stream survey report notes, “Spawning habitat is a limiting factor for steelhead” (DFG 1973a, p. 2). The report called the steelhead resources of San Pedro Creek “viable and important” but cited passage at culverts, summer water diversion, and urbanization effects on the stream channel and watershed hydrology as placing “the long-term survival of the steelhead resource in question”(DFG 1973a, p. 5). The lower portions of San Pedro Creek were surveyed during the spring and summer of 1989. Three O. mykiss year classes were observed during the study throughout the lower creek. Researchers noticed “a marked exodus from the lower creek during the late summer” of yearling and age 2+ individuals, many of which showed “typical smolt characteristics” (Sullivan 1990).

  • Butano State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR March 2008
    2 E XISTING C ONDITIONS Photo on reverse: View from Butano ridge Butano State Park Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR March 2008 C HAPTER 2: E XISTING C ONDITIONS 2.1 REGIONAL LAND USE Land use patterns in the Santa Cruz Mountains as well as on the San Mateo and Santa Cruz county coasts have not changed dramatically in the recent past. The general character of land use surrounding Butano SP is a mix of natural lands, coastal terrace and valley agriculture, hillside grazing, timber production, and small residential properties. The community of Pescadero is located approximately 3.5 miles north of the park at the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Pescadero Road. Butano SP shares its southern border with Año Nuevo SP, with Año Nuevo State Natural Reserve (SNR) and Big Basin Redwoods SP in proximity. Pescadero State Beach (SB), Bean Hollow SB, and Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park (SHP) are to the northwest along the coast. Portola Redwoods SP, Pescadero Creek County Park, Michelson Ranch, and several other recreational and open space lands are located north of the park. Large undeveloped Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) properties are located adjacent to the park’s west side. Año Nuevo Point and the Santa Cruz Mountains, viewed from Private ownership around the park generally consists of Pigeon Point. relatively large or very small parcels of land. Large parcels of private forested lands, some in timber production, are located between Butano SP and Big Basin Redwoods SP to the east, and also on the park’s northern border.
