The OTR Management Plan

In September 2016, The One Truckee River Management Plan was unanimously approved by the municipalities of the City of Reno, the City of Sparks, and Washoe County. It represented the first step toward making a shared vision a reality: a new collaboration of public and private partners working together to realize a Truckee River that flows clear and clean, quenches our thirst, sustains the river’s natural ecology, cultural resources and wildlife, and connects residents and visitors to unparalleled opportunities for recreation and regeneration.

Four primary goals and over 103 specific action items are identified that must be implemented or coordinated to achieve the One Truckee River vision. Numerous stakeholders participated during the 18-month long process to develop the plan. Today, our nonprofit organization is advancing towards these goals.

The Plan’s 4 Main Goals:

Goal 1: Ensure and protect water quality and ecosystem health in the Truckee River. 

Goal 2: Create and sustain a safe, beautiful and accessible river connecting people and places.

Goal 3: Build an aware and engaged community that protects and cares for the river.

Goal 4: Ensure the measurable, sustainable and collaborative management of the river for today and into the future.
