Stanford University is proposing a controversial Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) that continues to ignore the effects Searsville Dam has on endangered species like Steelhead trout.
In less than a minute, you can leave a public comment on the Environmental Impact Study that tells Stanford — and federal agencies — to own up to the damage caused by Stanford’s leaky, silted-in Searsville dam.
From the Change.org site:
Federal wildlife officials are poised to finalize Stanford University’s deeply flawed Habitat Conservation Plan, a move that would compromise the health of San Francisquito Creek and San Francisco Bay, while posing new flooding and Searsville Dam safety concerns. Adoption of this 50-year plan, and associated federal permits to allow Stanford to incidentally harm and kill endangered species like steelhead trout, would be a major setback for ongoing watershed planning efforts to implement comprehensive habitat restoration and improve regional flood protection.

What was once an actual fishery is now not worth the bother. The dam has ruined it. It needs to be restored, not written off.
