Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
The project includes a stormwater treatment basin on California Tahoe Conservancy lands at the intersection of 2nd Street and Helen Avenue and associated overflow conveyances, sediment traps, drain inlets, curb & gutter road shoulder protection, and rock bowls for outlet protection in areas of the neighborhood with inadequate drainage or treatment. The improvements will address significant localized flooding in the the neighborhood. This drainage catchment flows to the Upper Truckee River Johnson Meadow Restoration Project site (EIP project 01.02.01.0070), which was recently acquired by the Tahoe Resource Conservation District.
