HAUSER LAKE WATERSHED COALITION

Caring Enough to Make a Difference


 
 

Access Roads and Driveway Runoff

Public and Private Residential Roads


Public and private residential roads are all the roads around Hauser Lake that are not associated with timber harvesting. Some of these roads may have been originally built for agricultural uses or logging access and were not constructed for permanent long term residential or recreation use.

Today, roads around the lake mostly provide access for residential and recreational uses. Maintenance of our public roads is done by the Post Falls Highway District and maintenance is dependent on public funding. Homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of their private roads and driveways.

What is Lake*A*Syst?
It is a Lakeshore Assessment System; a voluntary program designed to help protect Hauser Lake by providing residents with information and recommendations on how to reduce their impacts on the lake.

 

Lake*A*Syst is a 3-step process:

  1. Read each section and complete the Homeowners Risk Assessment Sheet.

  2. Complete the Action Checklist Worksheet to inventory your stormwater sources.

  3. Take action to protect water quality by implementing the Best Management Practices (BMP) described in each section of this book.

How do I complete the worksheet?

After reviewing the information provided, go to the worksheet and check what applies to you.  This should take about 15 to 30 minutes to complete the worksheet and summarize your risk rankings.
