Watershed Restoration Program Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
The Brautovich Park SEZ Restoration and Park Rehabilitation is a joint effort between Douglas County and the Nevada Tahoe Conservation District (NTCD). The Project restored over a half acre of a Douglas County-owned parcel (APN 1319-18-401-003) to historic stream environment zone (SEZ), relocated the existing baseball field and playground to less sensitive lands within the parcel, and upgraded the parking and water quality features to help achieve the Lake Tahoe TMDL. The reconfiguration of the site incorporated improved stormwater treatment and erosion control to bring the parcel into BMP compliance.
