THURSDAY TOUR

Join us following the StormCon education sessions on Thursday for a tour of the North Truckee Drain System in Sparks County. In 2018, the City of Sparks completed the realignment of the North Truckee Drain, which is a tributary to the Truckee River. The scope of the project was to relocate the North Truckee Drain tributary confluence with the Truckee River and the goal was to relocate the confluence downstream of the Steamboat Creek to alleviate backwater effect on the North Truckee Drain, Sparks Industrial area, and the Steamboat Creek flood plains. This tour will include multiple stops, featuring the Sparks Marina, the Spanish Springs Dam and a proposed Recreational Park and Fishery Site.

**Limited to the first 50 registrants.

Tour locations: North Truckee Drain Outfall, Sparks Marina, Spanish Springs Dam, Recreational Park & Fishery
