For properties with a certificate, click the green star in the BMP Status column to open a printable web version of the BMP Certificate of Completion and maintenance requirements.

Certified properties can fall out of compliance if BMPs are not functionally maintained. Once BMPs are maintained, contact TRPA for a final inspection to reinstate your certificate.

Properties that have an aging certificate may be required to show proof of maintenance to keep the certificate valid.

Properties who fail to come into compliance with BMP requirements may be placed under enforcement. Enforcement properties should contact TRPA to speak directly with assigned staff for steps needed to bring the property into compliance.

A BMP Evaluation assesses a property for the stormwater Best Management Practices needed to come into compliance with the Lake Tahoe Basin regulations. Many free BMP evaluations were completed before 2015 and were valid for three years from their date of issue. Beyond that time, site conditions may have changed, and BMP practices may have changed to account for new technologies. If you want to check if an evaluation is on file for this property, please call the BMP Helpline (775)589-5202 or email bmp@trpa.gov

Site-constrained properties are unable to infiltrate water onsite due to factors such as high groundwater, bedrock, slow infiltrating soils, or utilities. These properties must complete all sediment source control requirements and pass a final inspection before a Source Control Certificate can be issued. Future action such as paying into an in-lieu fee or participating in a neighborhood project may be required to achieve a full certificate.

Properties that have completed retrofitting by installing source control BMPs and have been issued a Source Control Certificate will then design and size remaining infiltration BMPs when permitting a property improvement. This streamlined process does not apply to properties in high-priority compliance areas, or to multi-family residential and commercial properties.

The Source Control Certificate is for site-constrained properties who have met all sediment source control requirements. Future action may be required, such as paying into an in-lieu fee or participating in a neighborhood project, to achieve a full Certificate of Completion.

Properties who received BMP Evaluations through one of the Conservation Districts must sign privacy release forms for information to be publicly available on the BMP Search Engine.
