Flood Insurance?
Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program The passage of the Safe, Clean Water and Natural Flood Protection Program in 2012 has made the community’s long term goals for protecting the future of the Santa Clara Valley possible, including: • Supplying safe, healthy water • Retrofitting dams and critical infrastructure for earthquakes • Reducing toxins, hazards and contaminants • Restoring wildlife habitat in our waterways • Providing natural flood protection Even though we are in a drought, flooding can happen. Santa Clara County has had several damaging floods over the years, Extreme dry conditions can harden the ground. Within the first few most notably in 1995 and 1997 along the Guadalupe River and 1998 days of heavy rain, the ground can deflect water into streams and along Coyote and San Francisquito creeks.

Biological Opinion for the Lower Crystal Springs Dam Stilling Basin Connecting Channel Project in San Mateo County, California (Corps File No
March 21, 2019 Refer to NMFS No: WCRO-2016-00003 Katerina Galacatos, Ph.D. Acting Regulatory Branch Chief Department of the Army San Francisco District, Corps of Engineers 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 4th Floor, Suite 0134 San Francisco, California 94102-3406 Re: Endangered Species Act Section 7(a)(2) Biological Opinion for the Lower Crystal Springs Dam Stilling Basin Connecting Channel Project in San Mateo County, California (Corps File No. 2006-30317S) Dear Dr. Galacatos: Thank you for your letter of July 13, 2016, requesting initiation of consultation with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for the proposed Lower Crystal Springs Dam Stilling Basin Connecting Channel Project in the County of San Mateo, California (Project). The Corps of Engineers (Corps) proposes to provide authorization pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended (33 U.S.C. § 1344 et seq.), to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to construct the Project. The enclosed biological opinion is based on our review of the proposed Project and describes NMFS’ analysis of the effects on threatened Central California Coast (CCC) steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in accordance with section 7 of the ESA. In the enclosed biological opinion, NMFS concludes the Project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened CCC steelhead. However, NMFS anticipates take of CCC steelhead will occur as a result of dewatering work areas during project construction. An incidental take statement with non-discretionary terms and conditions is included with the enclosed biological opinion. -
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). -
