Searsville Dam is a masonry dam that was completed in 1892, one year after the founding of Stanford University, and impounds San Francisquito Creek to form a reservoir known as Searsville Lake. Searsville Dam is located in the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve and is owned and operated by Stanford University. Neighboring cities include Woodside and Portola Valley, California. A vocal group argues that the dam should be removed. Searsville Dam inundated former wetlands formed by the confluence of Corte Madera Creek, Sausal Creek, Dennis Martin Creek and Alambique Creek. These wetlands likely served a valuable historical function by removing sediment and pollutants from the San Francisquito Creek mainstem. San Francisquito Creek historically served as habitat for Coho salmon (Oncorhyncus kisutch) which are now reduced to 1% of their former population in California waters.
