Watershed Restoration Program Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
This project addresses two ongoing habitat concerns at Lake Mill Meadow. This project 1) Adjusts the hydraulic gradient to facilitate terrestrial obligate wetland vegetation, and 2) mitigates an erosion feature in the lower meadow that was altering the meadow hydrology and causing a drop in the groundwater table resulting in loss of wetland/meadow habitat. Project Completed October 2021
