Figure 2-a: Soil Horizons• Depth to Bedrock: Shallow rocky soils, and rock outcrops are common inthe Lake <strong>Tahoe</strong> Region. These features may hinder the installation of <strong>BMP</strong>s.They may slow infiltration and reduce <strong>BMP</strong> effectiveness. Some fracturedbedrocks can short circuit the treatment process by providing preferentialflow pathways.• Depth to seasonal high groundwater: Groundwater levels and movementaffect transport of pollutants, vegetation types, and the feasibility of <strong>BMP</strong>s 4 ;therefore seasonal high groundwater level may limit the depth of infiltration<strong>BMP</strong>s.
