The South Upper Truckee Water Quality Project (Project) encompasses Tahoe Paradise Unit 60, River Park Estates Units 1 & 2, and South Gate Subdivisions. This includes the neighborhoods off of South Upper Truckee Road, bordered by US 50 to the north, the Upper Truckee River to the south and east, and USFS owned parcels to the west. The primary goal of the Project is to improve the clarity of Lake Tahoe by reducing detrimental water quality impacts that are a result of the development of the subdivisions, including the reduction of the transport of fine sediment from the Project area to the Upper Truckee River by construction of appropriate water quality BMPs.
