Final PTEIR Press Release
The State supports environmentally sound fuels management activities and is committed to treating 500,000 acres a year by 2025. To support this effort, CAL FIRE prepared the Tahoe Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PTEIR); comprehensively evaluating the effects of fuels management to improve the project approval and delivery process for projects. Working under a PTEIR allows for a more efficient environmental review of projects while still meeting the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The Tahoe PTEIR addresses a long-term program of forest management and fuel reduction on private, local jurisdiction, federal, and California Tahoe Conservancy lands primarily within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) throughout the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin. CAL FIRE commends the Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team, North Tahoe Fire Protection District, Lake Valley Fire Protection District (official), and the California Tahoe Conservancy for their efforts. This project is a true milestone for the Lake Tahoe Basin. More information can be found here: https://www.ntfire.net/tahoe-pteir
