Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The Tahoe Valley Stormwater and Greenbelt Improvement project includes multi-benefit stormwater, SEZ, bicycle and pedestrian improvements and recreational amenities. Water quality and SEZ enhancements will include improving existing drainage ways and drainage systems to spread, treat, infiltrate, and retain flows from roadways, commercial areas, and other high priority, directly connected urban areas in accordance with the Lake Tahoe TMDL. Pedestrian and bicycle improvements and all-weather crossings will improve connectivity within the project area and to regional networks.

Targeted Performance Measures

  • Educational and Interpretive Programs Produced
  • Miles of Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes Improved or Constructed
  • Miles of Roads Decommissioned or Retrofitted
  • Miles of Street Sweeping

Threshold Categories
