Taylor Tallac Restoration Project – Sewer line relocation

Project Number
01.02.01.0103
Action Priority
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
Implementers
South Tahoe Public Utility District

Duration
2023 - 2026
Watershed Restoration Program Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
The proposed project relocates 2200 LF of gravity sewer main from the current location along the Edge of Lake Tahoe to follow the edge of an existing roadway. The relocation reduces the risk of sewer discharge directly to Lake Tahoe by moving manholes currently located on the shore of Lake Tahoe (within a yellow cress protection area) and within tributaries away from these sensitive areas. Facilitates Taylor-Tallac Restoration by USFS.
