Objectives

Reduce nutrient levels in the Keys Lagoons and Lake Tallac
Develop a Circulation and Filtration System to materially improve water quality as it relates to aesthetics, algae control, collection of AIP fragments
Reduce non-point source nutrient and pullutant inputs to Lake Tallac and the Keys Lagoons
Contribute to the Preservation of Lake Tahoe and its ecosystem
City Development Impacts
The Pope Beach development built a road across the front of the marsh. This barrier distrupted the natural flow of water and the filtration of Pope Marsh.

The Keys development hydrologically isolated Pope Marsh from the Upper Truckee River.
