Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) in Tahoe

The majority of projects planned and
       implemented by the Tahoe Engineering
       Division of DPW stem from TRPA’s
       Environmental Improvement Program (EIP)
       for maintaining and improving water quality
       and soil conservation resources – this effort
       has translated into completing 50 erosion
       control projects since 1984 at a cost of about
       $35-40 million

Recently completed capital projects include:
     • Lake Tahoe ParkErosion Control Project (ECP) –
        2006

Other capital projects also benefit air quality
      and scenic resources/community resources of the
    EIP including parking facilities, the Tahoe City
     Transit Center, utility undergrounding, bridges
      and roadway safety/enhancement projects like
    the upcoming Kings Beach CCIP.

Our partnership with the TRPA and support of
       the EIP is ongoing and will drive future
       projects necessary to protect the natural
       environment of Lake Tahoe and to maintain
       public health and safety within the Region. A
