Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The project, located in the Country Club Heights subdivision, is roughly bounded by Highway 50, the Upper Truckee River, and Crystal Air Drive. The main goal of this project is to reduce very fine/fine sediment from the County right-of-way from reaching the Upper Truckee River near Elks Club Drive to help achieve TMDL goals. Phases 1 & 2 focused on water quality (WQ) / Stream Environment Zone (SEZ) improvements throughout the subdivision. Phase 3 is focused on WQ / SEZ/ and User Access improvements surrounding the old “Elks Lodge” property between Elks Club Drive, Highway 50, and the Upper Truckee River.
