    SECTION 2 PHYSICAL/BIOLOGICAL SETTING, INCLUDING COVERED SPECIES 2.0 PHYSICAL / BIOLOGICAL SETTING, INCLUDING COVERED SPECIES 2.1 SIGNIFICANT HYDROLOGIC FEATURES 2.1.1 San Francisquito Creek Watershed The San Francisquito Creek watershed encompasses an area of approximately 45 square miles and is located on the east- ern flank of the Santa Cruz Mountains, at the base of the San Francisco Peninsula (Fig. 2-1). This watershed is located in two counties, San Mateo and Santa Clara, and two of its constituent creeks (Los Trancos and San Francisquito) form part of the boundary between the two counties. The San Francisquito Creek watershed has four major sub-watersheds located at least partially on Stanford lands: Bear Creek (Bear When this HCP was prepared, Stanford had the following Gulch Creek), Los Trancos Creek, San Francisquito Creek, and functioning water diversion facilities in the San Francisquito streams that flow into Searsville Reservoir (including Corte Creek system: Searsville Dam and Reservoir, located down- Madera, Dennis Martin, Sausal, and Alambique creeks). stream from the confluence of Corte Madera Creek and Sausal Creek; Los Trancos diversion on Los Trancos Creek, near A USGS gauging station (11164500) is located on San the intersection of Arastradero and Alpine roads; and an in- Francisquito Creek near the Stanford golf course, approxi- channel pumping station, located in San Francisquito Creek mately 500 meters south (upstream) of the Junipero Serra near the Stanford golf course, south of the Junipero Serra Boulevard/Alpine Road intersection.

  • Habitat Conservation Plan November 2012 5-2 Environmental Consequences
    Environmental Consequences 5-1 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES This section analyzes the effects of issuing the ITPs and implementation of the HCP on the physical, biological, and socioeconomic environment. It describes the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of three alternatives: the Proposed Action, No Action, and HCP for CTS Only. The list of activities covered by the Proposed Action (i.e., Covered Activities) is provided in Section 3 and in the HCP (Appendix B). The direct and indirect effects of the Proposed Action and two alternatives on the physical environment are addressed in Section 5.1; on the biological environment in Section 5.2; on the socioeconomic environment in Section 5.3; and on environmental justice in Section 5.4. A summary comparison of effects of the alternatives is provided in Table 5-8, near the end of the section. Direct effects are caused by the action and occur at the same time and place. Indirect effects are caused by the action and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. They may include the physical effects of population growth or changes in land use. The possible cumulative effects on each resource are evaluated in Section 5.5. Cumulative effects are the incremental effects of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency or person undertakes such other actions. Cumulative effects can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time. Global climate change, for example, is addressed in this section.

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration SAN MATEO AND SAN FRANCISCO COUNTIES San Francisquito Creek Watershed San Francisquito Creek enters the San Francisco Estuary south of the Dumbarton Bridge and north of the Palo Alto Flood Basin. The watershed covers 42 square miles including drainages of the major tributaries, Los Trancos Creek, West Union Creek and Bear Creek. Searsville Dam, constructed in 1890 about 12.7 miles from the creek mouth, is impassable to in-migrating fish. The Lake Lagunita diversion dam is located about 2.5 miles downstream of Searsville Dam and also poses a significant barrier to spawning salmonids (Cogger et al. 1976d). A fishway was constructed on Lake Lagunita diversion dam in 1976. San Francisquito Creek A 1905 report notes O. mykiss in San Francisquito Creek (Snyder 1905). A 1953 DFG correspondence states that steelhead in San Francisquito Creek persist in portions of the creek even when the stream becomes intermittent, and that young steelhead have been observed in Lake Lagunita on the Stanford University campus (CDFG 1953).
