Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
There is no Net County Cost associated with this agenda item. Transportation will be programming the CTA 12 009 grant funds within the 2013 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as part of the Tahoe Environmental Improvement Program section and within the Fiscal Year (FY) 13/14 and subsequent FY 14/15 budgets.
Background
At the December 5, 2006 Board of Supervisors (Board) meeting, the Board authorized the Transportation Department (Transportation) to participate in the Lake Tahoe Basin 2007 State Grant Programs with the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC). Pursuant to this authorization, Transportation submitted a Site Improvement erosion control grant request to the CTC for the County Service Area #5 Erosion Control Project (Project) (CIP 95196) in the amount of $395,000. The CTC Governing Board approved the Site Improvement Grant Agreement CTA 12 009 (Agreement) requested for the Project at its December 14, 2012 meeting. The following is a brief synopsis of the Project:
The Project area is located in the Tahoe Cedars subdivision and is bordered by State Route 89 to the north, Lake Tahoe to the east, Poplar Street to the south, and Tenth Street to the west. Currently, a storm drain pipe from the upper watershed of the Tahoe Cedars subdivision conveys storm water runoff directly into Lake Tahoe. This Project will stabilize eroding slopes and ditches with the right of way on existing roadways and incorporate infiltration systems within the current storm drainage infrastructure to reduce the volume of storm water runoff and fine sediment that reach Lake Tahoe. The Agreement provides funds for project design and construction.
Reason for Recommendation
The CTC Agreement will provide the funding necessary to complete another water quality and erosion control project, which further assists the County in reaching the Total Maximum Daily Load targets set by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Furthermore, this Project is part of the County's pollutant load reduction strategy.

2. The Clerk of the Board will return all five partially executed original sets and a certified copy of the Minute Order to Transportation for CTC review and approval.
Action(s) to be taken by Transportation following Board approval:
1. Upon receiving the fully executed Agreement from the CTC, Transportation will forward an original to the Clerk of the Board's office and retain a copy for its files.
