Following a thorough analysis and significant public input, in 2022 the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) began a project to test innovative methods to control the aquatic invasive weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons. Aquatic invasive species pose a serious risk to Tahoe’s water quality and clarity, native species, and the public’s enjoyment of the lake.
As we approach the completion of the third year of our Control Methods Test (CMT) project, the TKPOA would like to extend its deepest gratitude to our partners and homeowners who have made this ambitious initiative a success. The CMT was designed as a multi-year test done in small sections of the Tahoe Keys Lagoons as a feasibility study to determine what combination of aquatic weed control methods could be successful in Tahoe based on the principle of a limited application of herbicides.
Over the last three years, we have seen an unprecedented level of collaboration, effort, and dedication aimed at controlling the spread of invasive aquatic weeds in the Tahoe Keys Lagoons. We are especially thankful to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the League to Save Lake Tahoe, the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, and our TKPOA homeowners. Their commitment has been vital in our efforts to move forward with such a challenging, yet essential project.
