Stormwater Management Program
Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
This water quality improvement project in a priority treatment area in Incline Village reduces the amount of fine sediment washing into the lake and help Washoe County meet its milestone of the Lake Tahoe TMDL and improve lake clarity.
Tasks include installation of stormwater treatment BMPs, shoulder stabilization, and culvert improvements. Benefits include improved stormwater quality release to Wood Creek & Lake Tahoe, increased protection and stream function for Wood Creek riparian and SEZ and greater TRPA Stormwater Program collaboration for BMP compliance. The project (Phase 1 & 2) is expected to earn Washoe County 30-40 credits in the Lake Clarity Crediting Program.
