Tahoe Truckee Airport District/ North Tahoe Fire- River Road Project 1

The Tahoe Truckee Airport District - North Tahoe Fire (TTAD/NTF) River Road Fuels Reduction Project 1 is located on the south side of the Highway 89 corridor where it parallels the Truckee River between Tahoe City and Alpine Meadows, CA. This portion of Highway 89 is a primary evacuation route for Lake Tahoe residents and visitors and it is within the Defense Zone of the Wildland Urban Interface. The project addresses dead and dying trees, ladder fuels, and excessive ground fuels and will be part of a series of projects to reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest health, allowing for the highway corridor to better serve for evacuation among multiple benefits.
