On November 21, the League filed lawsuit in federal district court against the TRPA on its recently passed Shorezone Ordinance which will allow for an unprecedented level of shorezone development and significant increases in motorized boat traffic at Lake Tahoe, without regards to the consequences that water pollution will have on Lake Tahoe's famously clear waters. The League to Save Lake Tahoe has been strongly opposed to this plan on issues ranging from the deferral and inadequacy of mitigation programs, boat pollution, excessive buoy placement, overcrowding, loss of scenic beauty, heightened risk of invasive species introduction, dramatic increases in noise, and TRPA’s continuing failure to achieve its mandated environmental goals.
