On May 30 the U.S. Forest Service will answer questions and provide information about its Upper Truckee River restoration project.

The project area is located east of the Lake Tahoe Airport runway and west of the Washoan subdivision in the Tahoe Paradise residential area.

The meeting will provide an overview of the activities that will occur this summer, and how these will limit public access during construction due to safety concerns associated with heavy equipment operation.

The Forest Service, in collaboration with the California Tahoe Conservancy, has completed environmental analysis and permitting for the project, which is part of a larger effort to restore the lower nine miles of the Upper Truckee River. The Forest Service expects to break ground on its portion of the project in early June.

The meeting is 6-8pm at the Forest Supervisor’s Office, 35 College Drive, South Lake Tahoe.

For more information on the meeting, contact Theresa Cody, (530) 545.2057 or tlcody@fs.fed.us. The environmental documents and other project information are available online.
