Acquired in April 2018, Johnson Meadow, is a 206+ acre property located in South Lake Tahoe along the Upper Truckee River. Prior to acquisition the property was privately held and served as a dairy and seasonal pasture. Following acquisition Tahoe RCD is engaged in a comprehensive phased restoration project to benefit; wildlife habitat, water quality, fisheries, recreation, vegetation preservation, soil conservation, and public open space.
Phase 1 (Complete): Preliminary restoration analysis, planning, and design to a 30%.
Phase 2: (Current Phase): Environmental Analysis and design to final design and permitting
Phase 3: Implementation and construct

Threshold Categories
-
Restoration of main channel will enhance fisheries habitat.
-
Restoration of this area will include providing public recreation access.
-
This project is located immediately adjacent to Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe, and the scenic quality of the site as viewed from the roadway will be maintained.
-
Restoration of this reach of the Upper Truckee River will preserve the SEZ and repair disturbed SEZ.
-
Restoration of this reach of the Upper Truckee River will provide habitat for native plant species. Surveys for invasive plant species will identify populations that can be removed to reduce threat to native species.
-
Restoration of the main channel of this reach of the Upper Truckee will reduce nutrient and sediment transport to Lake Tahoe.
-
Restoration of this reach of the Upper Truckee River will potentially provide habitat for species such as the willow flycatcher, as well as other native neotropical migratory birds, and native mammals.
