Tahoe Sierra Stormwater Resource Plan

The standard Tahoe Sierra Stormwater Resource Plan (SRP) was funded by CA State Water Resource Board (SWB) Prop1 funds. It was mandated by the SWB to elevate the importance of stormwater projects for funding by highlighting the multiple benefits of managing stormwater well, including, water quality improvement, flood reduction, groundwater recharge, habitat restoration or enhancement, and other community benefits. Stormwater projects must be included in the SRP to be eligible for voter approved bond funding. The California Tahoe Conservancy contributed extra funding to enhance the plan for the Tahoe Basin by reviewing and updating the metrics used to score and rank projects.
