UC Davis researchers noted several bright spots in their annual Lake Tahoe health report, issued today: The 2007 Angora Fire had no significant impact on lake clarity; a small test of a method to kill invasive clams worked; the pollutant phosphorus was at its lowest level in 29 years; and free-floating algae in the lake have generally remained constant since 1996.
Did you know that according to NRCS/USDA calculations, an average home with no Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented can result in up to 3½ tons of soil erosion per year? In contrast, homes with functioning BMPs installed result in only zero to 0.3 tons of soil erosion per year.
