An assessment of the environmental policies of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

摘要

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has been put in the position of managing growth and development in one of the country's most popular recreational areas. The increasing growth through the years has significantly impacted the environment around Lake Tahoe. The TRPA has made improving the environment in the Lake Tahoe Basin one of their main priorities, and has developed several plans to accomplish their goals. The effectiveness of these plans has come into question as the clarity of Lake Tahoe continues to deteriorate, so alternative actions were developed during the 1997 Presidential Summit. It is hoped that these new actions will not only improve the environment of the Lake Tahoe Basin, but encourage all of the parties involved in Lake Tahoe's future to work together towards keeping the area beautiful for future generations.
