Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The Montgomery Estates Area 3 Erosion Control is bordered by Trout Creek to the west, Cold Creek to the north and Pioneer Trail to the south. The main goal of the Project is to improve the clarity of Lake Tahoe by reducing the detrimental water quality impacts of the Montgomery Estates subdivision on Lake Tahoe clarity. The objective of the Project is the reduction in the transport of fine sediment from the Project area by constructing water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) prior to reaching Cold Creek and Trout Creek to the maximum extent practicable.
