Proposal for Brockway Trail Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Services
The Town of Truckee is soliciting proposals and cost estimates from qualified professionals with
experience in hydrology and wetland restoration to monitor and evaluate the success of the newly
created wetlands at the Brockway Trail Project in Truckee, California. The project area is located on the
parcel at the northeast corner of Brockway Road and Estates Drive, adjacent to the dirt parking area and
pond. The Town is required by the Lahonton Regional Water Quality Control Board Permit No. R6T-
2013-0021 to monitor the constructed wetlands for 3 years, or until success criteria are met.
Construction of the wetlands was completed as part of the Brockway Road Trail project in 2013 and
2014. There are two new wetland areas, the first of which consists of an area where a metal culvert was
removed from the drainage ditch and the channel banks were reseeded and the channel replanted with
plugs. The second area is a wetland basin that was constructed adjacent to the ditch where the banks
were reseeded, and plugs placed on the bottom.
Permit conditions require the Town to submit annual reports starting December 31, 2014, which include
complete monitoring findings and an evaluation for the success in restoring water quality, floodplain
function and biological resources relative to wet meadow creation. The Town is required to file a final
mitigation report on December 31, 2016 indicating whether performance standards have been met and
the status of compliance with mitigation requirements. The permit also requires that a qualified
professional with experience in hydrology and wetland restoration monitor the implementation and
compliance monitoring. Remedial plantings were installed in the excavation and wetland ditch at the
end of the 2014 growing season and the first annual report has been submitted.
Scope of Work
The Scope of Work will include the following:
1. Provide photographs
2. A table comparing the performance standards and conditions of the wetlands
3. Evaluation of whether the success criteria are being met

6. One technical memo provided by May 31, 2015

8. One technical memo provided by November 30, 2016
