Lake Valley SRA Upper Truckee River Restoration Project – Reach 7

The Lake Valley SRA Upper Truckee River Restoration Project – Reach 7 aims to restore the geomorphic and ecological integrity of a 1.5-mile segment of the Upper Truckee River near South Lake Tahoe, California. The project will widen the river corridor to align with current hydrologic patterns, reestablishing natural connections between the river and its active floodplain to enhance aquatic and riparian habitats. By doing so, it seeks to improve overall river and meadow conditions, increasing habitat complexity and biodiversity to support native species such as the Lahontan cutthroat trout, western pearlshell mussel, and Paiute sculpin. The work is designed to foster long-term ecosystem resilience and promote conditions conducive to the recovery and thriving of these at-risk aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The project is led by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, with primary point of contact Lindsay Cline, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable via email or phone. It was posted as a forecast on July 29, 2026, indicating an upcoming procurement opportunity, though no solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside details are currently available. The place of performance is clearly defined as South Lake Tahoe, California, and the official project page can be accessed through the California Environmental Quality Act network. While the contract type and funding specifics are not yet public, the scope and ecological goals suggest a significant, multi-year restoration effort rooted in environmental recovery and species conservation.
