Riparian Zone Restoration Hydrologic Process & Geomorphic Feature Restoration
The Brautovich Park SEZ Restoration and Park Rehabilitation was a joint effort between Douglas County and the Nevada Tahoe Conservation District (NTCD). The Project restored over a half acre of a Douglas County-owned parcel (APN 1319-18-401-003) to historic stream environment zone (SEZ), relocated the existing baseball field and playground to less sensitive lands within the parcel, and upgraded the parking and water quality features to help achieve the Lake Tahoe TMDL. The reconfiguration of the site incorporated improved stormwater treatment and erosion control to bring the parcel into BMP compliance.

Key Accomplishments

  • Acres of Habitat Restored/Created: 0.56 acres
  • Acres of SEZ Restored or Enhanced: 0.56 acres
  • Miles of Trails Developed or Improved: 0.10 miles
