The proposed Edgewood Tahoe Lodge project includes a suite of upgrades to the Edgewood Company land at the lake. Today this land and associated ponds and wetlands remove about 400,000 pounds of sediment from flow to Lake Tahoe. Upgrades linked to the project, including an operations and maintenance plan, are projected to remove an additional 100,000 pounds of sediment from the system. The Edgewood Lodge Project is one of the first to apply new Total Maximum Daily Load methodologies to planning. In this interview Patrick Rhamey, Edgewood Companies Vice President of Real Estate, gives insight into the company’s approach to the project.
