The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Board unanimously approved the amendment to the Total Daily Maximum Load rules.

The state board met Nov. 16 at Lake Tahoe Community College.

Board members commended staff, said they are eager to work with partners in the basin, and that the regulations are needed to ensure Lake Tahoe’s clarity.

It was also said that as new science is introduced, the document would be revisited to ensure it is current.

More information about the TMDL is on Lahontan’s website.
