Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The Forest View Water Quality Project is within the Rubicon Properties Unit No. 2 subdivision which is bordered by Lonely Gulch to the north, Woodland Drive to the east, Highland Drive to the south, and the Forest View to the west. As part of a previously constructed water quality project most sources of erosion in the area were addressed but it had minimal treatment and also helped to connect the storm water flows to Lonely Gulch. The main goal of this Project is to reduce the very fine and fine sediment which will improve the clarity of Lake Tahoe.
