Document Description
The project would implement the following water quality improvements along SR89 Segment 1: Construct new infiltration basins to treat runoff within the state right-of-way. The infiltration basins typically consist of unlined (earthen) excavated shallow basins where rainfall and snowmelt runoff will be temporarily collected, helping to remove particles and pollutants before the runoff drains into downstream receiving waters, including Lake Tahoe. Modify cut and fill slopes to accommodate proposed facilities. Construct retaining walls or other rock slope protection to stabilize slopes and provide additional shoulder space to meet roadway design standards and/or allow room for the proposed drainage features. Pave or restore existing and new roadside pullouts and maintenance areas to reduce erosion. Install ditches, dikes, culverts and other drainage facilities to collect and direct runoff to roadside treatment facilities. Most of the improvements can be installed within the existing state right-of-way. Some proposed facilities, such as the new infiltration basins, might require minor acquisition of property or easements to construct and maintain. Construction work will be completed seasonally. The project may require three to four seasons to complete. Following construction, and between seasons of construction, erosion control and slop stability measures will be applied. Utility relocations may be required for construction of the proposed facilities. This may include relocation of above-or-below-ground utilities of a widened roadway of right-of-way.
