Overview

Basics

Basics
Water quality and erosion control project that will address surface runoff conditions. Existing site conditions include an undersized storm drain collection and conveyance system that is overwhelmed during high intensity storms. Project work will include adding in additional storm drain inlets, adding subsurface storm drain pipes to replace an existing steep rock-lined conveyance channel, and constructing a series of linear storm drain detention basins that will also allow infiltration of stormwater. Project improvements will redirect urban stormwater runoff into a new subsurface conveyance systems; thereby, removing overland surface flow that is impacting private and public property.

Location Information Location Notes
Primary goal involves routing more stormwater down the old Wildwood Avenue right-of-way to reduce stormwater flowing to Ruby Way. Work will involve constructing new drainage inlets and storm drain pipe along Wildwood Avenue between Lucinda and Overlook Court. Detention basins are planned for the undeveloped Ruby Way section and the abandoned portion of David Lane.

01/15/2021 4:16 PM Chuck Taylor The project plans completed at the 100% stage and the environmental CEQA document approved, Ruby Way and Overlook Court project is awaiting funding source to implement the project. As Grant for this multi-benefit project become available, the City will apply for them through a competitive state grant application process that includes funding from Proposition 1 and 68 and any other suitable grant programs that fit the goals and benefits the project will deliver once complete. The main purpose for the project is to deliver lake saving storm water treatment from infiltration galleries and detention pond systems. Without improvements as designed in place, fine sediment transport from the unstable and eroding areas, especially on the steeper portion of the watershed as well as the developed neighborhood below the project will continue.
Reference EIP project, Sonora Ave Drainage, for description of the City's efforts to continue the water quality mitigation measures in the watershed below the Ruby Way-Overlook Court project that receives untreated water off Pioneer trail and the local streets within the neighborhoods off Sonora and Wildwood Avenues.
01/15/2020 2:56 PM Chuck Taylor 1/15/2020 The project alternatives include two similar approaches to stormwater collection, conveyance and treatment. The addition of a culvert above Ruby Way on David lane is the primary difference of the two alternatives that allows for a larger portion of the design storm to be treated and affords additional protection against localized flooding. The feasibility of the added culvert has been confirmed through the preliminary design. The Technical Advisory Committee is tasked with selection of the preferred alternative and will be weighing cost benefits of the two options.
04/29/2016 2:27 PM Jason Burke The project will provide additional benefits that are not currently tracked in this tool (but are requirements for funding sources that prioritize multi-benefit projects and use of stormwater as a resource). As noted in the project description included in the Tahoe Sierra Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (Tahoe Sierra IRWM), the project includes the following additional benefits:
- Flood Management (decreased flood risk attained by using distributed infiltration systems to reduce runoff rates and volumes at the source),
- Water Supply (augmentation of groundwater through increased infiltration of dry weather and wet weather flows)
- Community Mobility (address existing drainage issues that impact the future alignment of the South Tahoe Greenway, EIP # 03.01.02.0088)
- Water Quality (increased infiltration to provide runoff treatment, source controls and re-establishing natural drainage hydrology impacted by urban development and hydromodification).
