The Truckee River Flood Management Authority has entered into a $6.5 million flood damage reduction design agreement, with the Department of the Army. The Army Corps of Engineers will perform preconstruction engineering and design of terracing and revegetation features along the Truckee River from Greg Street to McCarran Boulevard. The planned improvements along this portion of river bank will work with other flood project elements, to confine flood flows to the riverbed under the Rock Boulevard and McCarran Boulevard Bridges during periods of high water flow. The feds will cover 65 percent of the cost, with the rest being funded by a 1/8 cent Washoe County sales tax.
