Starting June 1st, 2009 Lake Tahoe boaters will pay a fee to help fund invasive species inspections. Approved by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the inspections prevent aquatic invasives, such as the zebra and quagga mussel from entering Lake Tahoe waters. Fees will range from $10 to $60 depending on vessel size.
We want to know how you feel about this issue. Do you have questions for the TRPA? Do you think there’s another way to protect the lake from invasives? Email us at envjournal@gmail.com or post comments below and let us know what your concerns are and what questions you would like us to ask TRPA officials.
