Tahoe is a national treasure and as such has benefitted from the shared responsibility the federal government and state governments have taken in protecting the Lake and its environment. Since the bi-state Tahoe Regional Planning Compact was ratified by Congress in 1969 Tahoe has had a unique role in coordinating the efforts of federal, state, local and private partners to protect the environment. |
