Bond plan for $56.4 million will help Lake Tahoe

Friday, May 28, 1999 | 5:16 a.m.

AB285 will pay for part of Nevada's $82 million share of a plan to increase clarity and stop erosion around Lake Tahoe. The bonds are to be issued over several years.

A 1997 gathering that included President Clinton and Vice President Gore resulted in a $906 million plan to restore the lake and its environment. Nevada has $3.2 million worth of Tahoe-related projects planned this year.

Other entities, including California, the federal government and the Washoe Tribe, are also contributing.
