Watershed Restoration Program
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
Restore hydrological and geomorphic processes to 1.5 miles of the Upper Truckee River in Lake Tahoe Golf Course at LVSRA. Improve natural function and connectivity between the river and floodplain, promote sediment deposition and ground water storage, while increasing SEZ, fisheries and wildlife habitat. Reduce water quality impacts from erosion. Improve public recreational access and connectivity to the river and two adjacent state parks.
Targeted Performance Measures
- Acres of SEZ Restored or Enhanced
Threshold Categories
- Water Quality
