The Searsville Lake Sediment Impact Study has been sponsored by the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and managed by Stanford University. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the downstream consequences of:
1.The natural filling of Searsville Lake
2.The proposed lowering of Searsville Dam to address upstream flooding problems.

The study has been completed, and copies of the draft final report have been sent to the JPA Board, JPA member agency staff, and others that have participated in the project or previously requested printed copies for review.
