LAKE TAHOE RESTORATION REAUTHORIZATION
JULY 11, 2023.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. MANCHIN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 612]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 612), to reauthorize the Lake Tahoe Restora-
tion Act, and for other purposes, having considered the same, re-
ports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that
the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 612 is to reauthorize the Lake Tahoe Restora-
tion Act through September 30, 2034.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
In 2000, Congress passed the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (Public
Law 106-506), which authorized $300 million in funding for envi-
ronmental projects and habitat restoration around Lake Tahoe.
After a lapse in funding between 2010 and 2016, Congress reau-
thorized the Act in section 3603 of the Water Resources Develop-
ment Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-322). This law increased the au-
thorization of appropriations to $415 million and established the
Environmental Improvement Program to restore Lake Tahoe and
the Tahoe Basin, and protect the region from a number of threats.
The law also funded priority programs for fire risk reduction and
forest management, aquatic invasive species control, storm-water
management, erosion projects, and for the Lahontan Cutthroat
Trout Recovery Program. As amended, the Lake Tahoe Restoration
Act is currently authorized through December 2023. S. 612 extends
the authorization through September 30, 2034.
