Tahoe conservationists challenge Martis Valley West proposal in court

Sierra Watch, Mountain Area Preservation and the League to Save Lake Tahoe took legal action in November against the proposed Martis Valley West Project, a massive and controversial development proposal that threatens Lake Tahoe.

"The Martis Valley West proposal poses a direct threat to Lake Tahoe and its famous clarity. For years, our groups have attempted to collaborate with the developers and Placer County to find a solution that protects the Lake," said Darcie Goodman Collins, PhD, executive director of the League to Save Lake Tahoe. "Asking the courts to enforce the law is a last resort, but the developers have done nothing to address their project's threats to Tahoe."

Placer supervisors approve controversial Squaw Valley project

The Placer County Board of Supervisors approved the Village at Squaw Valley amidst considerable controversy.

The League to Save Lake Tahoe remains concerned that pollution from the project's estimated increases in traffic to Tahoe threatens the Lake's clarity.
