Threshold Categories
-
Millions of dollars have been spent on stream and meadow restoration projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin over the past 2 decades, but there has been little to no consistency in tracking and evaluating these projects. One of the primary unresolved, and most high profile, questions related to the Lake Tahoe Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis concerns the potential for stream and meadow restoration to prevent fine sediment and nutrient pollutants from entering the Lake during high flow events.

| 09/07/2017 8:57 PM | System | Objectives: To focus and improve the quality of stream restoration effectiveness evaluations in the Lake Tahoe Basin. |
||
| 09/07/2017 8:56 PM | System | Findings: • A preliminary inventory of available documentation and effectiveness reports on riparian ecosystem restoration projects conducted to date (winter 2009) in the Lake Tahoe Basin led to the conclusion that the documentation of a clear process and format would greatly benefit the future development of riparian restoration effectiveness evaluations. • The Riparian Ecosystem Restoration and Effectiveness Framework (Framework) was developed to focus the process and improve the communications when stream restoration practitioners are implementing specific restoration projects. • The Framework process is expected to simplify the summary of existing (impaired conditions), the development of testable restoration project objectives, improve the quality of restoration project monitoring strategies and actualize the adaptive management process. |
||
| 09/07/2017 8:56 PM | System | Management Implications: • The final products of the Framework will increase consistency of the documentation of the restoration team intentions to interested parties many years following the completion of the restoration actions, thereby directly improving the availability and quality of the data and information available to make long-term adaptive management decisions. • One primary goal of the Framework is to simplify the communication and documentation process for stream practitioners so that each effectiveness evaluation development team does not have to re-create the wheel. We believe the Framework process and the final products provide significant progress towards this goal. • The Framework is intended to be this “tool.” Over the course of the two years since the 2007 research proposal, the Framework has evolved into a complete process that will help managers better identify measurable project objectives for an array of ecosystem attributes, measure progress toward these objectives, and track and report the physical, chemical and biological effectiveness of riparian ecosystem restoration projects. |
