Watershed Restoration Program
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
Griff Creek is located within the Griff Creek watershed in Kings Beach along the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Due to development in the urbanized area of Kings Beach, the once braided stream channel system with natural flood control zones has been forced into a single channel that has resulted in significant bank erosion and incised channels. The purpose of the project is to improve the water quality in the Griff Creek watershed within the residential area of Kings Beach by preventing further stream degradation, installing water quality enhancement features, and restoring stream environmental zones where feasible.
Targeted Performance Measures
