Lake Tahoe Restoration Act/Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act Erosion Control Grant Program
The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) receives Erosion
Control Grants money that provides Federal Assistance to local governments for
erosion and sediment control projects that are located on non-Federal lands and
that provide benefit to Federal land. This grant program is authorized under
Section 7 of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (LTRA), Public Law 106-506) and administered by the Lake
Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the
US Forest Service using the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance number 10.672.
These funds are available to the governing bodies of political subdivisions within the Lake Tahoe Basin for
the purpose of planning, designing, implementing, and monitoring urban erosion control water quality treatment projects.
The funds will be allocated on a competitive basis.
The Proposal Review Committee
A technical advisory committee will review the proposals and forward their recommendations to the Lake Tahoe
Basin Management Unit's Forest Supervisor, Terri Marceron, for final award allocation.
The committee consists of representatives from the Forest Service, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, California
Tahoe Conservancy, Nevada Division of State Lands, and Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board,
and Nevada Department of Environmental Protection.
Submitting a Proposal
The LTBMU will administer annual grant cycles based on the timing of funds availability. Please view the LTRA Erosion
Control Grant Program Announcement for the schedule for submitting a grant proposal for the current cycle. The Erosion
Control Grant application process has two steps, first project proposals are submitted then reviewed for award selection,
and second, complete grant applications are submitted for those proposals selected for award. The proposals submitted in
the first step should follow the outline of the narrative proposal in the appropriate grant application checklist and be
submitted with a prioritized list of project proposals submitted for grant funding and a matching funds spreadsheet. The
complete applications submitted in the second step for proposals selected for award will contain all of the other required
documents noted in the appropriate applications checklists.
