Gardnerville Station

UPDATE 6/30/23

The Gardnerville Station Outlet Piping was completed by Cutting Edge Construction Inc of Reno. The project install approximately 1,200 linear feet of various sized storm drain from the Gardnerville Station to the Martin Slough. The project also installed a pump to empty the 13,000 cubic foot storm water reservoir. The project was difficult due to the numerous utilities in Mission Street. The total cost of the project was $580,379 of which $250,000 was provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is expected to repave the highway in Spring 2024 and connect new storm drain to the reservoir. After this work is completed the Town will finish the site improvements on the parcel.

UPDATE 5/2/22

The outlet piping at the Gardnerville Station is completing the permitting process. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds were provided by Douglas County in the amount of $250,000 for construction of this storm drain. It is anticipated that local funds will be used to supplement the ARPA allocation. Construction is expected to start in mid-September 2022. NDOT plans to reconstruct the pavement on US 395 in Spring of 2023 and connect their storm drains to this project. Site work is anticipated to occur during fiscal year 24/25.

UPDATE 3/29/21

Design of the outlet piping at the Gardnerville Station is underway.  The work should begin in the 21/22 fiscal year.  The outlet piping will take the runoff from Hwy 395, divert it into the tanks that were already installed at the Gardnerville Station and send it through piping under Mission Street to the Hellwinkel Channel.  This will alleviate the flooding that occurs on that section of roadway.

UPDATE 3/3/20:

Two electric car charging stations are being installed onsite thanks to a grant from NV Energy.  The charging stations are being installed at a temporary location on the south side of the   When the site work starts the charging station will be moved to their final locations and will replicate the traditional gas pumps onsite.

UPDATE 1/27/20:

A 13,000 cubic foot precast concrete detention reservoir is being constructed under the future parking area at the station.  NDOT will connect new storm drains to the reservoir when the highway is reconstructed in 2022.  Next year the town will install outlet pipes from the station to the Martin Slough.  Once the storm drain is connected and the highway is reconstructed the Town can proceed to complete the site work.  The detention reservoir was paid for in large part by a Community Development Block Grant.

UPDATE 12/1/18:
The Town of Gardnerville, along with Main Street Gardnerville and the Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce, held the Ribbon Cutting for the Gardnerville Station on Monday, December 17, 2018 at 4:30 pm. Attendees enjoyed hors’ d’oeuvres & beverages as we celebrated the newly refurbished gas station that was deeded to the Town of Gardnerville by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in 2013. It has been five years and with the help of NDEP (the Petroleum Fund) and Douglas County (grants from CDBG) we are completing the renovation of the building.  Gardnerville Station is located at 1395 Hwy 395 N, corner of Mission Street and Hwy 395 N.

UPDATE 3/19/18:
We have, with many thanks to McGinley & Associates and BRAMCO Construction, finished the site cleanup phase of the project.  This last round of work removed the remaining known contaminated soils on the site.  A total of 675 tons of material was removed from the site, well over the anticipated contamination area by almost a factor of 4.  Thank you to the state staff and board of the State Petroleum Fund for all the support getting this site cleaned up.

The large station canopy between the road and the building was removed allowing the contamination to be removed under the concrete pad

The Dube` Group finished the building renovation improvement plans,which the town submitted for a building permit in April.  We will be installing an underground storm water detention system allowing the highway storm water to discharge into the new Hellwinkel channel.  R O Anderson Engineering is working on the flood modeling of both the channel and the "S" curve area.

The bid for building renovation went out and Simerson Construction LLC is in the process of being awarded the bid. The State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) will fund the building improvements and underground storage tank needed.
