The Lake Tahoe Restoration Act of 2011 reauthorizes the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act. S. 432 authorizes $415 million over 10 years for forest fuels management, watershed restoration, stormwater management, and other projects. The bill would create a science program and authorize efforts to prevent introduction of invasive species like quagga and zebra mussels. The bill also funds efforts for recovery of Lahontan cutthroat trout. Lake Tahoe, located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is the second deepest lake in North America and the 10th deepest (1,645 feet deep) lake in the world.1 Known for the incredible clarity of its waters and its scenery, Lake Tahoe is a major tourist and recreational attraction for California and Nevada.
