Zephyr Cove and the surrounding East Shore neighborhoods sit among tall pines on slopes above the lake in Douglas County, Nevada. Many homes are second homes, which means gutters can go months without anyone looking at them.
Local factors in Zephyr Cove
- Needles and slopes. Heavily treed hillside lots fill gutters fast, and steep driveways and decks make reliable drainage important.
- Absentee owners. Recurring fall and spring cleanouts with photos are popular with owners who aren’t in town.
- TRPA BMPs. TRPA (the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency) requires developed properties in the Lake Tahoe Basin to install and maintain stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) sized to infiltrate a 20-year, one-hour storm, roughly one inch of rain. Roof runoff can sheet off the eave onto an armored dripline, or be collected by gutters, but either way the water has to land somewhere that protects the soil and soaks it in. Gutters concentrate water, so every downspout needs a splash block, rock armor or an infiltration feature beneath it. If you’re adding or changing gutters, ask your contractor how the downspouts will tie into your existing BMPs, and check your parcel’s BMP status on the Lake Tahoe Parcel Tracker.
