North Lake Tahoe Nearshore Meeting for Thursday Canceled, South Lake Tahoe Still on

The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, along with the Tahoe
Regional Planning Agency, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, invite members of the public to participate in upcoming meetings focused on assessing the condition of Lake Tahoe’s nearshore environment.

The nearshore is the part of Lake Tahoe that residents and visitors interact with most while enjoying the lake’s shores and waters. It extends from the shoreline out 350 feet into the lake, or to a depth of 69 feet, whichever is further. The Nearshore Evaluation Report, completed last fall by the Desert Research Institute, the University of Nevada at Reno, and the University of California at Davis, describes the current understanding about the nearshore and the changes it is experiencing.

These meetings are an opportunity to learn more about the Nearshore Evaluation Report and what the agencies are doing to monitor, protect and improve nearshore conditions.
