Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
As competing recreation access demands on public lands increase, the need to balance competing uses and interests is imperative. Placer County aims to better manage recreational opportunities so that they best suit recreation, while supporting social and environmental values, so that growing number of user conflicts and environmental impacts are minimized. This project will work with partners in the Basin to address water quality, user conflict and access issues at trailheads and backcountry access points in Placer County. Phase 1 of the North Tahoe Recreational Access Plan identifies water quality issues at recreational access points, develops a plan, and implements at recreation sites.
