Tahoe History Talks on the Beach: Getting the Lead Out of Lake Tahoe
The Tahoe Area Sierra Club and the Lake Tahoe Historical Society will be having the community-based non-profit, Tahoe Lead, for Lake Tahoe Historical Society’s summer speaker series to present more about the lead cables found on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, the effects on the environment and the ongoing efforts to remove them.
Extending eight miles between Baldwin Beach and Rubicon Bay, abandoned cables containing an estimated 139,000 pounds of lead parallel the Lake Tahoe shoreline. Come and learn from the organization, Tahoe Lead, about the community effort to remove these cables and the potential environmental risks of lead contamination. This one-hour presentation from Tahoe Lead will be held at Lakeview Commons. We recommend bringing a cushion or stadium chair to enjoy the presentation from the stairs at Lakeview Common, near the snack bar.
