Watershed Restoration Program
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
The purpose of the project is to protect existing force and gravity sewer mains and the Bellevue Pump Station from flooding and channel migration using an adaptive management approach and primarily vegetative techniques.
To close out the Adaptive Management Program for this project, final monitoring, including topographic, field hydrology, and vegetation surveys, were conducted in 2020 to demonstrate the changes in flow patterns resulting from the features installed to protect the District's utility easement. Findings from the final survey effort will be documented in a final AMP Technical Report to complete the regulatory reporting requirements for this project in 2021.
