League to Save Lake Tahoe

Keep Tahoe Blue's 2nd Bi-Annual Basin Blitz Shows Promising Results

Results of this year’s spring Basin Blitz show that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) stormwater infrastructure improvement project at Highway 50 and River Drive (Caltrans installed a Delaware Sand Filter at the site in summer 2018) significantly reduced the amount of fine sediment flowing into the Upper Truckee River and ultimately ending up in Lake Tahoe. - April 15, 2019
