Homeowners in the Lake Tahoe Basin have a critical role in protecting the environment of the area. One of the main contributors to the declining clarity in the lake is sediment runoff from roadways, driveways, and other impervious surfaces. This runoff helps feed the algae that is clouding the lake.
As a homeowner in the Basin, you can help protect the lake by installing Best Management Practices (BMPs) on your property. BMPs help slow the process of the runoff from reaching the lake and help prevent erosion. BMPs vary from very simple (such as revegetating a bare slope) to complex (such as a stormwater pre-treatment system). All homeowners in the Tahoe Basin are required to have installed BMPs on their property by the year 2008.
