Butano Creek Channel Reconnection and Resilience Project

Document Description: The project is intended to provide multiple benefits of improving fish passage, water quality and flooding issues affecting Butano Creek and the Pescadero community. The primary purpose of the project is to restore and enhance the effective hydrologic connectivity of Butano Creek through Butano Marsh to Pescadero Lagoon and re-establish fish passage for federally threatened Central California Coast Coho Salmon and federally threatened Central California Coast Steelhead. This would be achieved by conducting targeted sediment excavation and dredging that would create a longitudinal profile of the creek, marsh and lagoon system that supports flow continuity and fish passage.
