Project Description

In the mid 1900's Angora Creek was diverted to dry the meadow for grazing. Construction of the Lake Tahoe Golf Course in 1960 on the dry meadow obliterated the eastern third of the meadow and channel. In 1997, the meadow channel was restored by enhancing remnants, constructing new sections of the historic channel and removing dams and drainage ditches. An entirely new channel restored geomorphic function. This two-stage channel was built by excavating a channel and constructing banks with coir fabric encapsulated soil lifts. The project restored geomorphic function, raised the water table and shifted the meadow vegetation to wetter species, improving riparian habitat and water quality.
