COEUR D’ALENE—The Coeur d’Alene Lake Advisory Committee (CLAC) met today to prioritize $20 million for projects that improve and protect water quality in Coeur d’Alene Lake, as part of Governor Little’s Leading Idaho Initiative.
The committee voted to award $3.6 million for 10 projects that will target phosphorus reduction throughout the basin.
Projects include restoration work in tributaries intended to reduce phosphorus entering Coeur d’Alene Lake from Wolf Lodge Creek, Mica Creek, and Fernan Lake; stormwater management projects for Coeur d’Alene, Kellogg, and Eastside Highway District; and shoreline stabilization in Powderhorn Bay.
In a final item of business, committee members considered projects to address findings outlined in the National Academies of Science (NAS), Engineering, and Medicine’s Future of Water Quality in Coeur d’Alene Lake report. The report, published in November 2022, provided a third-party assessment of water quality data collected over the last three decades and outlined issues of concern. The committee plans to meet again on March 23 to finalize prioritization and authorize spending for the projects to address NAS recommendations.
The December meeting continues Governor Little’s multiyear effort to improve the health of Coeur d’Alene Lake. In 2021, Governor Little established the CLAC and directed $2 million for projects that reduce levels of phosphorus from entering the lake from wastewater, stormwater runoff, erosion, and other sources. The following year, Governor Little made an additional $20 million available for projects that support the state’s 2009 Lake Management Plan and reduce nutrient loading to the lake.
State of Idaho Receives $4 Million for EV Infrastructure
BOISE – On September 27th, 2022, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced that the Idaho Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plan required under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program was approved for implementation. There is now $4,425,511 in funds available to Idaho to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and to establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. For the Fiscal Years 2022-2026, Idaho is expected to receive just under $30 million through the NEVI Formula Program. A portion of the FY22 funding will be used to conduct a siting, access, and feasibility study to guide EV fast charger buildout.
Office of Energy and Mineral Resources Administrator, Richard Stover, announced “the approval of the Idaho’s NEVI plan is welcome news. This plan was the culmination of extensive outreach and community input and reflects a strong working partnership between the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Office of Energy and Mineral Resources (OEMR), and other stakeholders and community members across Idaho. Its approval represents an important step in infrastructure, economic and workforce development in Idaho. Over the next year, we will be conducting a siting, feasibility, and access study to determine how and where to deploy this funding.

City of Kellogg Stormwater Management Upgrades (Phases 1, 2, and 3)
Project Sponsor
City of Kellogg
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to improve stormwater management at the city of Kellogg’s stormwater outfalls.
This project includes several phases. In Phase 1, the city will work to improve stormwater management at the city of Kellogg’s stormwater outfalls—the point of discharge into a stream, river, or other water body—at Hill Street, Bunker Creek, and North Kellogg. By reducing the amount of stormwater that flows through these outfalls, the city aims to reduce the volume of metals, phosphorus, and other pollutants that eventually enter Coeur d’Alene Lake via the Coeur d’Alene River. The outfall upgrade at Bunker Creek will also add additional greenspace to the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes.
In Phase 2, the city plans to address stormwater at Government Gulch by restoring and improving swales and ponds for better stormwater retention. The city will also focus on work in Southeast Kellogg, including upgrading existing stormwater channels, sediment basins, and dry wells. This phase includes the purchase of a vacuum truck to clean out stormwater systems.
The vacuum truck has been delivered and is being used by city staff to perform much-needed stormwater maintenance activities.
After addressing known stormwater needs, the city will utilize Phase 3 to identify remaining needs and implement improvements to the stormwater management system. This funding will allow the city to conduct a comprehensive assessment, document areas in need of installation upgrades, and select the most cost-effective technologies to mitigate stormwater runoff.
Funding
This project received the following awards from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative:
- Phase 1: $570,000
- Phase 2: $1.1 million
- Phase 3: $670,000
Status
Phase 1 – The three project areas, including Bunker Creek Bioswale, South Hill Street Continuous Deflective Separation structure, and North Hill Street inlet modification and filters are complete.
Phase 2 – The vacuum truck has been delivered and is now in use. All other Phase 2 activities are in the planning and design stage with construction projected to occur this summer.
Phase 3 – Investigative and work is scheduled to occur this summer.
Outcome
This project is estimated to reduce phosphorus inputs to the Coeur d’Alene River by over 700 pounds annually.

Coeur d’Alene Stormwater Volume Reduction Project
Project Sponsor
City of Coeur d’Alene
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to install stormwater storage and filter systems at Independence Point, Sanders Beach, and along Mullan Avenue in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. These management strategies will help divert stormwater runoff from existing discharge points, also known as outfalls, in the urban drainage areas and serve as opportunities to share water quality information with the community.
Stormwater runoff pollutants from yards, sidewalks, and streets eventually flow into storm drains that discharge directly to Coeur d’Alene Lake in these neighborhoods. Two Sanders Beach outfalls collect runoff from 76 acres, and the East Mullan outfall drains 13 acres of area. The Independence Point outfall conveys runoff from 131 acres to the lake. Without stormwater management installations, pet and wildlife waste, vehicle fluid, any fertilizer not taken up by lawns and gardens, and anything that may spill onto sidewalks, gutters, alleys, and streets in these areas flows into Coeur d’Alene Lake untreated. This project redirects runoff through a variety of filtration systems and, barring high precipitation or snowmelt events, prevents this surface runoff from reaching the lake.
Even with these management measures in place, it is important for residents and visitors to be mindful about daily habits such as fertilizer use and waste disposal. Less pollution to capture and filter means less maintenance time and cost. Additionally, even filtration systems can be overwhelmed, increasing possibility that phosphorus and other pollutants in stormwater can reach Coeur d’Alene Lake.
Funding
This project was awarded $1.4 million from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Status
The Sanders Beach and Mullan Avenue outfalls are complete. Work on Independence Point starts in spring 2024.
Outcome
This project is expected to reduce phosphorus loads to Coeur d’Alene Lake by approximately 280 pounds annually. The estimated phosphorus load reductions for each drainage area are as follows:
- Sanders Beach: 140 pounds of phosphorus/year
- Mullan Avenue: 20 pounds of phosphorus/year
- Independence Point: 120 pounds of phosphorus/year
Northside Stormwater Drainage Improvements (Marmot Trail Road)
Project Sponsor
East Side Highway District
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to improve drainage systems along Marmot Trail Road, which includes approximately 3,600 feet of asphalt along a steep gradient. Managing erosion will reduce discharge into the north end of Coeur d’Alene Lake.
Funding
This project was awarded $14,100 from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Status
This project is complete.
Outcome
This project is expected to decrease phosphorus loading and sediment discharge from soil erosion that flows from stormwater into Coeur d’Alene Lake near the Silver Beach Marina.
Mica Creek Watershed Agricultural Sediment Reduction and Improvement Project (Phase 2)
Project Sponsor
Kootenai Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to stabilize 1,600 feet of streambank on Mica Creek, a tributary to Coeur d’Alene Lake, by removing collapsed vegetation, armoring the banks, and replanting willows to prevent further erosion. These upgrades will help reduce sediment and phosphorus loads to Coeur d’Alene Lake. This project is expected to be completed by summer 2024.
Funding
This project was awarded $49,000 from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Status
This project is complete.
Outcome
This project is estimated to reduce phosphorus loads to Coeur d’Alene Lake by 50 pounds annually.
