The Kings Run multi-family residential BMP retrofit combined a large detention basin and several underground infiltration systems. A strong emphais was put into the revegetation of over 20K square feet of compacted dirt areas. This project was the winner of the 2009 TRPA “Best in the Basin” award, for best BMP retrofit project.

This project was funded by the Tyrolian Village HOA in order to trade coverage within the property through the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). Approximately 11,400 square feet of asphalt pavement was removed and the disturbed area was revegetated per TRPA specifications. Native species were used in order to minimize the need for an irrigation system.

The Dollar Hill Condos mulit-family residential BMP retrofit combined a long vegetated bio-swale and several underground infiltration systems. The bio-swale was a re-design from the originally designed underground plastic infiltration system. The cost savings with the bio-swale was used towards the vegetation. Native vegetation included aspens, willows, red-twig dogwoods, mountain spirea, potentilla and shasta daisies. In addition, an extremely water efficient drip irrigation system was installed.

The Village Shopping Center BMP retrofit combined several large vegetated basins and bio-swale infiltration systems. A strong emphasis was put into the revegetation of over 64,000 square feet of compacted dirt areas. In addition, a state of the art stormwater filter vault was designed to treat runoff where infiltration was not cost effective. The vault was installed by Al Pombo Construction based out of Truckee, California. This project was the winner of the 2010 TRPA "Best in the Basin" award, for best BMP retrofit project. Please visit this property during an intense rain storm to see the BMP's at work!

Designed stormwater conveyance and infiltration facilities for the commercial BMP retrofit of this West-Shore restaurant and cabins. Designs focused on long-term sustainability, and use of “green” materials. This project was redesigned by Basile Management Practice to disclude the previously specified use of buried plastic, and replace with bio-swale. This design saved money in construction, and produced a more environmentally sustainable project.

This project was one of many BMP retrofits in the Lake Tahoe basin. The full scope of the TRPA ordinance was fulfilled at the site which included the following: asphalt paving (done by Blacktop Paving); storm water capture and conveyance with slotted channel drains; storm water detention and infiltration with rock-lined and vegetated basins; boulder placement to stop vehicular traffic; and, revegetation of all bare soil areas on site.

Northstar Resort - Truckee, CA

Basile Management Practice provided revegetation and soil restoration services in accordance with specifications for disturbed areas along ski slopes at Northstar.

North Tahoe High School/Middle School – Tahoe City, CA

The North Tahoe High School/Middle School reconstruction project was completed in 2007. Basile Management Practice completed the irrigation system and landscaping, as well as the installation of site furnishings (i.e. benches, flagpole etc). The scope of work also included the revegetation of all areas disturbed by construction (approximately 50,000 square feet). This project utilized a seed mix containing drought tolerant native grass and wildflower species. All work was completed on time and within budget.

Tahoe Lake Elementary School BMP Project – Tahoe City, CA

This pilot project was funded by the Tahoe Resource Conservation District (TRCD) and the Sierra Watershed Education Partnership (SWEP) in order to teach students about Best Management Practices. A stormwater detention basin was constructed to treat almost 10,000 square feet of impervious surface. The project area was revegetated with native species and an irrigation system was installed.

This project was funded by the TTUSD in order to terminate an open construction permit through the Lahontan RWQCB. Approximately 8,250 square feet of disturbed area was revegetated per the permit specifications. Boulders were placed at seven foot intervals to stop vehicle traffic from compacting the soil and limiting the success of the revegetation.

This project won the 2008 TRPA Best in the Basin Award for Erosion Control. Aspen Developers was the general contractor on the job and Basile Management Practice was a sub for all revegetation included in the project. The specifications for the project included the seeding and planting of extremely drought tolerant native species. In addition, temporary irrigation was required.
