Overview

Basics

Basics
The Upper Bijou Park Creek Restoration Project is a watershed-scale project seeking to address water quality & flooding issues in a phased approach to provide treatment for urban runoff in an approximately 850-acre watershed that discharges to Lake Tahoe via Ski Run Marina. The City completed Phase 1 in 2018 with the Knights Inn redevelopment, replacing the failing storm drain with new treatment basins and conveyance system. The City is currently finishing Phase 2 of the project (design), focused on the large upper watershed that includes 8 separate projects. Phase 3 (construction) begins with one of the projects, Rockwood to Blackwood, in May 2025. The other projects are currently unfunded.
