Creek restoration benefits Lake Tahoe
Reno Gazette-Journal
Federal, state and local officials have completed a restoration project for a creek at north Lake Tahoe they say will improve fish habitat and reduce sediment flows into the lake while enhancing recreational opportunities.
One major component of the Third Creek project was removal of fish passage barriers that not only made it difficult for fish to get upstream, but caused bank erosion that allowed sediment to flow into Lake Tahoe.
