Purpose:
Scientists have conducted considerable research to identify what is causing Lake Tahoe to lose clarity and how it can be restored to the legal transparency standard of 97.4 feet. Their work reveals that many possible strategies could reach the goal. Practically, however, the only strategies that might succeed are ones you and your fellow citizens think make sense. Your input is the critical next step in developing the Lake Tahoe Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). A TMDL is a plan for restoring water quality that identifies existing sources of pollutants and the maximum amount that can be discharged if the water is to continue providing its beneficial uses. A TMDL also describes how much the pollutants must be curtailed to achieve water quality standards and the strategies for getting there.
