Sens. Dean Heller and Harry Reid from the State of Nevada were the authors of a bill approved this week that authorized $415 millions for the Tahoe Basin for protection of the lake and its surrounding area. Tahoma will surely benefit from the investment in our local environment. Since 1997 when the Federal government passed the first comprehensive lake protection bill, the money spent can be seen in the many ongoing projects: the Highway 89 runoff interdiction barriers; the creek restoration efforts on General Creek near Eagle Rock; the improvement of the West Shore bike path; and the Lake Research Study at the UC Davis Campus Lab at Incline Village, NV.
All these efforts will help preserve our lake for future generations.
