- Document Description
- The project involves implementing modifications at the Station’s existing private single-use pier to provide consistent long-term, year-round mooring capabilities. The CG needs year-round, 24-hour, immediate access to the Station’s rapid response boats to provide essential emergency search and rescue, law enforcement, commercial and recreational boating safety, and environmental protection services to the boating public and the agencies that use Lake Tahoe. Under current conditions, when water levels are low (generally October through January, and year-round during drought conditions), rapid response boats must be moored at alternate sites, increasing response times and creating safety and security issues. The EA/IS/EA evaluates three alternatives at an equal level of detail. Under Alternative 1 (the Proposed Action), a channel would be dredged adjacent to the existing pier. Under Alternative 2, dredging would not occur; instead, the Station’s existing 312-foot pier would be extended by an additional 350 feet in a dog-leg formation. Under Alternative 3, dredging also would not occur; the Station’s existing 312-foot pier would be extended by an additional 450 feet in a straight formation.
