San Mateo County Recycleworks

The San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (SFCJPA) is an organization formed in 1999 by the cities of East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and the San Mateo County Flooding and Sea Level Resiliency District, along with the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Its main purpose is to lead projects that mitigate the risk of flooding along the San Francisquito Creek and the Bay. The SFCJPA integrates habitat protection and restoration, as well as community recreational opportunities, into its flood risk reduction measures. The SFCJPA's mission is to plan, manage, and coordinate flood risk reduction measures through the contributions of its member agencies. It aims to protect people and property, preserve and enhance the environment, and create public amenities for enjoyment while promoting community awareness and participation in these processes. The vision of the SFCJPA is to equitably and cooperatively manage the San Francisquito Creek watershed, its tributaries, flood plain, and shoreline to protect people and property, sustain healthy natural habitats, and offer opportunities for human respite and recreation.Generated from the website
