Although over $3 billion has been spent on more than 800 projects to protect Lake Tahoe, its water clarity has dropped by more than a third since 1968 due to pollutants and rising tourism, and critics say the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is now favoring economic growth over restoration.

Local fire officials warned that if a major wildfire strikes Lake Tahoe, evacuating the crowded basin could take 14 hours and nearly every property would be at risk—putting both residents and tourists in danger.
Developers are planning new resorts in these high-risk zones, which raises concerns about the limited escape routes available during a fire.
