Watershed Restoration Program Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association proposes to plan, address technical challenges, and engage stakeholders on improvements to the long-term quality and beneficial uses of waters of the Tahoe Keys Lagoons (i.e., the Marina, West, and Lake Tallac lagoons). Evaluations will focus on water quality, lagoons circulation, and control of algae/HABs and invasive aquatic plant fragments. Depending on TKPOA and stakeholder interests, project planning could also include interrelated environmental issues, such as: 1) reduced nutrient inflow to/outflow from Lake Tallac Lagoon, and 2) reduce water quality & AIS impacts and threats to Pope Marsh.
