TMDL Performance Measures

Non-Urban Source Category accomplishments are tracked and reported using a set of Performance Measures (PMs) that quantify the extent to which activities are implemented. TMDL PMs were selected based on relevance to lake clarity, alignment with existing reporting efforts in the Tahoe Basin, and feasibility of data collection. Links below provide tracking and reporting guidance, key definitions and informative context for Non-Urban Implementing Partners to accurately track and report TMDL PMs.   

Forest Upland Source Category*

• Forest Roads Decommissioned or Retrofitted 
• Forest Roads Inspected and Maintained
• Forest Roads Created
• Disturbed Area Restored, Enhanced, or Created
• Facilities Retrofitted for Stormwater 

Stream Channel Erosion Source Category 

• Stream Channel Restored or Enhanced by Lake Clarity Projects

Atmospheric Deposition Source Category

• Non-Compliant Wood Stoves Removed or Retrofitted 
• Miles of Street Sweeping 
• Miles of Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes Improved or Constructed

Results Reporting Process

TMDL PMs are reported using the EIP Tracker in one of two ways: (a) as part of an individual project existing in the EIP Tracker; or (b) through a TMDL Performance Measure Reporting Project established in the EIP Tracker for each Non-Urban Implementing Partner (project links contained in bullet list below).  To avoid double-counting of results, it is imperative that results are entered in only one of the manners described above - not both.
