The Cost of Restoration
The total funding commitments for the EIP have been met. Approximately 266 EIP capital projects are on the ground and many more are in the planning stages. Meadows and streams have been restored. Transportation has improved. Urban pollution has been reduced. However, a tremendous amount of work lies ahead.

Now that we have reached the 10-year anniversary of the EIP, new commitments must be made. While the 1997 funding targets have been achieved, escalating construction costs are raising the bar for future projects. Further,
more recent information tells us that a greater sustained commitment is required to make measurable progress.

To ensure the health of the Lake Tahoe Basin, continued cooperation among funding and implementing entities is essential to completing projects identified in the EIP. The next phase of the EIP encompasses six focus areas:
  • Science & Reporting
  • Improving Forest Health
  • Restoring Watersheds & Habitat
  • Achieving Air Quality & Transportation Goals
  • Enhancing Recreation & Scenic Experiences
  • Conducting Public Education & Outreach
