Hes out on bail after being charged with endangering an aircraft. San Francisco University finds itself on an unlikely environmental battle. It centers were around the aging dam they have and the fish and the creek that flows from it into the bay. Eric thomas takes a closer look. Lush trees grow along the banks of this creek in palo alto, but theres any water this time of year. Thats because a dam, owned by nearby Stanford University, keeps it from flowing. We are at a critical turning point and a huge opportunity to make a difference in the creek. Kerry mclain is with a National Environmental group. They have named this river the fifth most endangered river in the United States and it blames stanfords sears villalon dam. It is surprising. A lot of people dont know theres this 65foot dam in their backyard and thats because its on stanfords biological preserve, which is behind a fence. People cant see it. Sky 7hd gave us a birdseye view of the dam and the surrounding area. The Searsville Dam was built in 1892, originally to supply water to the city of San Francisco. One small problem, it wasnt drinkable. For 80 years it served as a source of family fund and recreation. In 1970s stanford close it had to the public because people wandered through and ruined too many experiments. Today the water is used to irrigate campus lawns and the University Golf course. It blocks a series of creeks and streams above it. Its good habitat for steelhead, but they cant make it because of where they are standing just a short distance downstream. Christopher represents two environmental groups. Hes suing the National Marine Fishery Service for allegedly allowing Stanford University to continue endangering steelhead trout. Environmentalists say this Youtube Video shows the fish are work being their way to the bay, only to be stopped by the dam. They are taking water out of the local creeks that are critical habitat for endangered fish to irrigate a golf course and a campus lawns. The university declined to be interviewed for the story, sighting the pending litigation. In 2012 the university did agree to study the dam. The options included doing nothing, modifying the dam, tearing it down, dredging the reservoir or building fish ladders to allow fish to go upstream. Stanford owns much of the stanford owns much of the upstream watershed. Stanford uses much of the surrounding area for experiments on how human activity affects ecosystems. Tearing down the dam could endanger longterm experiments or cause flooding downstream. Then there are Environmental Concerns like what to do with all the silt backed up along the dam. It cant just flow into the bay. But environmentalists believe removing the dam is the only way to ensure steelhead will return to the historic stream. Stanford will make a decision whether or not to remove the dam this year. We see that as being one of the best opportunities in the country to restore a river this year. The university told us it expects to conclude the study this fall. Eric thomas, abc7 news. Check this out. An allout brawl erupted last night between the reno aces and albuquerque isotobes team.
