Water Quality Improvement
Rural Roads Improvements
The San Mateo RCD helped San Mateo County Parks address erosion and safety issues on Old Haul Road, a legacy forest road in Pescadero Creek County Park, by stabilizing large, failing crossings at Harwood and Keystone Creeks which are tributaries to Pescadero Creek. The project reduced sediment sources into Pescadero Creek, and improved habitat conditions and water quality in the Pescadero-Butano Watershed for the benefit of native fish and other species. It also ensured safe road access for recreation, administrative and emergency purposes for San Mateo County Parks Department and CalFire.
