Project Description: The goal of NEMO Nevada is to educate land-use decision makers on the connection between their decisions and water quality. Since 2004, NEMO Nevada has reached 26 of the 34 decision making or advisory boards in Washoe County (76.5%), increasing their awareness of water quality issues and improving their capacity to analyze development plans. With augmented funding, NEMO has expanded to Nevada to Douglas and Lyon Counties. New components added to the program include the following: Trainings on watershed management and floodplain plans and the role of riparian buffers in water quality protection, including examples of buffer ordinances; and hands-on training in the correct installation of construction-site BMPs.

Lake Clarity Crediting Program Support Services
Project Proponent: Environmental Incentives, LLC
Project Contact: Chad Praul, P.E., Partner
Project Location: Lake Tahoe, NV
Basin / Watershed Name: Lake Tahoe
Project Description: NDEP worked with the Lahontan Water Board (LWB) to develop the Lake Tahoe TMDL, a science based restoration effort to mitigate the causes for LakeTahoe’s declining clarity. In preparation for the transition from the science-based planning and policy formation phase to the implementation and performance evaluation phase, the Lake Clarity Crediting Program (Crediting Program) was developed to motivate action to improve Lake clarity. The Crediting Program quantifies, tracks and reports actions taken by local governments and state transportation agencies to reduce their stormwater pollutant loads. This project provides support services to enable the NDEP and LWB to test and implement the protocols, tools and methods described in the Crediting Program Handbook. Feedback received during testing will result in greater acceptance of the TMDL by regulated jurisdictions, improvements to the Crediting Program Handbook and improved efficiency of the Crediting Program.
