Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The project implemented an area-wide BMP retrofit project that installed linear rock-pool basins, an infiltration basin, double sediment cans with filter inserts and building dripline protection to prevent stormwater runoff from directly entering a tributary to Edgewood creek on constrained public and private parcels off lower Kingsbury Grade in Douglas County, NV. NTCD will work with TRPA to gather documentation to award parcel BMP certificates to associated parcels. NTCD will work with Douglas County to attain Lake Clarity Credits for the project.
