Today, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency joined the Lahontan Water Board in unanimously approving the Tahoe Keys Control Methods Test – a project to tackle the growing infestation of aquatic invasive weeds in the Tahoe Keys, ground zero for this ecological threat in the Basin. With TRPA’s vote, the Control Methods Test is cleared to move forward.
To protect the Lake's water quality and clarity, the League has taken a leadership role in addressing the Keys’ weeds problem for nearly a decade. We've helped develop, fund and implement innovative technologies, and bring stakeholders together to work for a solution. All along, we've been guided by the best available science, which shows that sticking to the status quo will result in the most harm to water quality. We applaud the agencies' heavy focus on scientific study in approving the project.
