This project removed two fish passage barriers from Pescadero Creek at Memorial County Park near Loma Mar in San Mateo County — a remnant dam and a concrete vehicle ford — replacing them with a restored natural creek bed and v-notched weirs with arched culverts allowing passage across a wider range of flows. The project opened 62.3 miles of unimpeded spawning and rearing habitat, a high-priority recovery action for nearly extirpated Central California Coast coho salmon and steelhead trout.
