The Lake Tahoe Restoration Act of 2016 authorized up to $415 million over 7 years for the Environmental Improvement Program (EIP) – one of the nation’s most comprehensive public/private restoration partnerships. The Act requires that TRPA and our partners maintain a priority list of projects for the program areas of Forest Health, Aquatic Invasive Species, Watershed Restoration, Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, and Accountability.
The priorities for 2022 maintain forward progress on longstanding priorities and confront the deepening impacts of climate change on Lake Tahoe’s fragile environment.
