The Truckee River Watershed Council seeks to contract with a firm to prepare historical and cultural resources environmental review to be incorporated into CEQA documents for the Truckee Wetlands (Meadows) Restoration project.
The Truckee Wetlands are a fragmented wetland complex starting at Hilltop, interrupted by Old Brockway Road and Estates Drive, re-starting near Martis Valley Estates, and eventually connecting to the Truckee River. The wetlands are not fully functioning, but can be reconnected to provide water quality, habitat and community benefits. The goals of the Truckee Wetlands (Meadows) Restoration project include increasing attenuation, reducing erosion, restoring historic wetlands, protecting existing infrastructure, and creating sustainable recreation/interpretive opportunities in the project area.
