Document Description
The purpose of the Project is to demolish an existing pier and to reconstruct a new pier at the subject property in Lake Tahoe. The reconstruction of the pier will allow for increased access during low water conditions. The Project, located in feed and cover fish habitat, will remove approximately 6.95 square feet of existing structural pier elements and will install approximately 12.75 square feet of new structural pier elements, for a net total of 5.8 square feet (.0002 acres) of permanent impact to Lake Tahoe. Equipment required for pier removal and pile driving activities will be operated from an amphibious barge. Temporary water quality impacts in the project area may result from disturbance of lakebed sediment during amphibious barge movement and staging, pile driving, and pile removal.
