LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. - It is allocation season again, the one time every two years when people who are on the list have the opportunity to build a home on their vacant lot in the Lake Tahoe Basin. One may remember the days in the 80s when people would camp out in line so they could be first to get the golden ticket, but now people are selected off of a list created on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) was tasked with curbing development in the Lake Tahoe Basin over 50 years ago.
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Small plastic pieces are causing a big problem for Lake Tahoe.
To support efforts to reduce plastic waste, students from environmental clubs at four high schools in the region partnered with staff from local nonprofits to learn about plastic reduction programs and how they can help take care of Lake Tahoe. On Earth Day 2021 their efforts, which began in the fall of 2019, came to fruition when the CEO of Raley’s agreed to create lasting, sustainable changes at their stores.
When the initiative began, students from North Tahoe, Truckee, Incline and South Tahoe high schools learned about the prolific microplastics problem impacting Lake Tahoe from UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center AmeriCorps member Elise Matera and staff members at Sierra Watershed Education Partnerships and the Tahoe Water Suppliers Association.

In 2018, the EPA handed oversight of the Anaconda mine cleanup project in Yerington to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.
It was assumed that the state might know the best and quickest way to handle the plume of pollution, which began in the 1950s and worked its way into the area’s groundwater.
But according to a Nevada Independent story, the state not only revised the EPA’s findings from 2016, it did so after private meetings with the mine’s former owner, Atlantic Richfield Company.
Four months later, the result was a final report that found less fault with ARCO.
