Overview

Basics

Basics
KGID maintains 22 miles of roadway within the Lake Tahoe Basin. The purchase of a new high efficiency street sweeper will enhance KGID’s ability to maintain its roadway system, which will ultimately help Douglas County reduce the flow of fine sediment to the lake and meet its required TMDL mandate. The County has registered KGID's road network within the Stormwater Tools and will receive TMDL credit for road operations, as long as the road score is at 3.0 or above. KGID will enter into a contract with Douglas County to sweep the roads according to an approved sweeping schedule.

Notes

Notes
01/09/2024 12:45 PM Courtney Walker Douglas County expanded the KGID road registration, but due to the high snow year was unable to perform the required number of Road RAM measurements. Therefore no credit will be given for WY 2023.
12/22/2022 10:23 AM Courtney Walker KGID recently purchased an additional sweeper. There is not an option in this platform to select Kingsbury General Improvement District, so Douglas County General Fund was inserted. Additionally, the Road Operations Plan would be good to upload, however, you cannot add a custom plan, only one from the drop down list.
11/02/2018 11:32 AM Courtney Walker Douglas County has an Interlocal Agreement with NDEP to implement the Lake Tahoe Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). One way to achieve pollutant load reduction of fine sediment particles (FSP) is through advanced road operations. Douglas County only performs road maintenance on seven miles of roads within the Lake Tahoe Basin.

KGID maintains 22 miles of roadway within the Douglas County portion of the Lake Tahoe Basin. KGID has limited staff, equipment and funding to increase pollutant recovery from the roadways. Currently, KGID's fleet contains one street sweeper that is about 10 years old. When a maintenance need on the sweeper arises, the sweeper can be out of commission for several weeks, missing key sweeping opportunities between precipitation events. As a way to assist KGID in the implementation of the TMDL mandate that Douglas County is required to meet, Douglas County proposes to use cash match using TRPA Air Quality Mitigation Funds to assist KGID with purchasing an additional street sweeper.
