The Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association (TAMBA) and the U.S. Forest Service are teaming up this summer to build six miles of new trails in the Fallen Leaf Lake and Angora Ridge area, the first phase of 15 miles of trails in the area which will cost $120,000.

This Sunday, the community is invited to a special fundraiser for the project at the Blue Angel Cafe in South Lake Tahoe.

Leave No Trace is a national program that teaches and inspires people to enjoy the outdoors while also helping to protect it.

While protecting the outdoor environment and keeping it clear and free of trash and debris should be commonplace, it isn't.

The Leave No Trace team was recently in South Lake Tahoe on a vacation but stopped by South Tahoe High to talk to members of Generation Green. Many may remember the team as community members who left last year to travel the country and teach and train along the way.

A gas leak behind the South Lake Tahoe Raley's at the Y prompted a temporary evacuation of the store Thursday evening.

3:30 p.m. update from Douglas County Officials: The water line has been located, but it is 15 feet deep with a gas line in the excavation hole and unmarked fiber optic lines running parallel to the edge of pavement along the old road bed. Therefore, efforts are currently limited to the use of a vactor truck for excavation.

The road crew is working with utilities on the excavation. It is anticipated that the crews will be working into the night to make the leak repair. Crockett Construction is onsite and they will be performing the excavation once fiber optics are located.

There has been another spill in the Tahoe Keys, this time a small diesel fuel spill in the Spinnaker Cove area between White Sands and the beach.

On Wednesday, May 25, the spill was reported at about 4:00 p.m. to the California Office of Emergency Services by the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA). Employees from TKPOA immediately placed booms in the water to keep the fuel from spreading.

Clean Harbor arrived on Thursday to lay out more booms and absorbent pads on the fuel and were able to pull them out on Friday.

Investigators from the Department of Fish and Wildlife Warden's office were at the Tahoe Keys Marina again on Wednesday, trying to find the source of an oil leak that was discovered on Monday, April 11. They were joined by a press information officer and a biologist, all from the agency's pollution office.

They said was no wildlife impact found at the scene, and all fish in the shallow marina and birds in the area didn't appear to be harmed by the oil.
