Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The County Service Area (CSA) #5 - Phase 3 Erosion Control Project (Project) will construct erosion control and water quality improvements in the Tahoma community. The work will take place along Tahoma's local streets including Pine Street, McKinney Road, Miami Avenue, and Elm Street. The Project will replace aging infrastructure, enhance drainage efficiency, and improve stormwater runoff quality. These improvements will reduce the discharge of sediment and pollutants into Lake Tahoe from County administered rights-of-way in the CSA #5 - Phase 3 Project area. By implementing these improvements, the Project will benefit the area’s natural environment and ecological health by helping to separate pollutants from stormwater runoff before the runoff enters Lake Tahoe.
The Project was approved for advertisement by the Board on January 28, 2025 (Legistar file 24-2109).
