01.01.01.0196
Action Priority
Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
Implementers

Stage
Deferred
Duration
2020 - 2024
Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The project will reduce scour of the unprotected road shoulders along Sonora Avenue by routing urban runoff to a system of underground storm drain inlets, sediment traps, perforated pipes for infiltration and underground conveyance pipes to the existing treatment wetlands (Osgood/Wildwood basins). All drainage improvements will occur within the existing road right-of-way. This project will provide underground drainage improvements to facilitate above-ground improvements associated with the Ski Run "Mountain to Marina" Green Infrastructure Planning initiative lead by the TRPA (EIP 01.01.01.0192).
