The Tahoe Hills Erosion Control Project is within the Tahoe Hills subdivision which is bordered by Highway 89 to the north and south, and by Lake Tahoe to the east . The Project area encompasses County Right of Way (ROW), Caltrans ROW, California Tahoe Conservancy, United States Forest Service, and privately owned property.
