Fisheries

This project will provide fish passage and create spawning habitat within the reach of Edgewood Creek from Lake Tahoe to pond 1. The main elements of this project are intended to improve stream habitat by daylighting the creek above the mouth, removing the culvert at the outfall, removing the golf cart path bridge, and re-contouring and stabilizing banks.

Recreation

This project will provide active, water-oriented recreation open to the general public. Alternative 1 includes new on-site lakefront recreational amenities as part of the lodge complex, including a spa and wellness center, a newly designated 15,507-square foot sandy public beach, a public pier, food and beverage service, viewing decks, concessions (e.g., kayak and bicycle rentals), restrooms, open space, and a shared pedestrian/bicycle path that provides access from Lake Parkway to the beach.

Soil Conservation

Restoration of Golf Course Creek would result in a net increase of 53,028 square feet (1.22 acres) of SEZ.

Water Quality

This project will increase the area and improve the function of the Golf Course Creek and Edgewood Creek stream environment zones (SEZ); Dredge, remove, and relocate accumulated material in ponds 1, 6, 10, 12, and Friday’s Station pond; Improve the treatment efficiency of the pond system associated with the Stateline Stormwater Association Pond System (pond 6, pond 10, and wetland) and pond 1 on the golf course; Improve the treatment efficiency of Friday’s Station pond and mitigate the potential flood hazard associated with the existing dam.
