The subject grant is an emergency grant which will provide $408,000.00 in grant funding to be used for portions of the Angora Fire Emergency Rehabilitation Projects.

The Project areas are located in eastern El Dorado County, in the Tahoe Basin, west of U.S. Highway 50.

The Projects extend to the west of Mount Rainier Drive/Pyramid Circle and to the east of Mountain Meadow Drive. The Project areas include Mountain View Estates Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3, & 4.
The Work to be done consists of, but is not limited to, the construction of fire rehabilitation improvements including tree removal, sediment traps, sediment basins, culverts, rock-lined channels, and grass-lined-swales.
At this same Board meeting, the Department is seeking authorization from the Board to enter into Public Works contracts for the Angora Fire Emergency Rehabilitation Projects. The Department will bring to the Board other agenda's related to the Angora Fire Emergency Rehabilitation Projects in future Board meetings.
