The 60-day comment period for the Upper Truckee Marsh project opens Feb. 7.

The California Tahoe Conservancy is putting forward four alternatives for the South Shore property, with a fifth being sticking with the status quo. No preferred alternative has been designated.

The draft environmental documents are on the CTC’s website. People have until April 8 to direct comments to Scott Carroll — scott.carroll@tahoe.ca.gov.

There will be two workshops about the project on Feb. 27 – 1:30pm and 6pm – at Inn by the Lake in South Lake Tahoe, along with another March 28 at 6pm in the Aspen Room at Lake Tahoe Community College.

The Advisory Planning Commission of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is scheduled to discuss the project on March 13, with the Governing Board taking it up March 27.

No date is being projected as to when the final EIR/EIS would be released. The soonest any work would begin is 2015.
