TAHOE KEYS SEWER PUMP STATION REPLACEMENT PROJECT This spring the South Tahoe Public Utility District will mobilize contractors to begin construction on the Tahoe Keys Sewer Pump Station Replacement Project. The project is expected to start in May and end by October. The 60-year-old sewer pump station at the corner of Tahoe Keys Blvd and Venice Drive will be replaced and rehabilitated to improve the reliability of this critical piece of infrastructure. The Tahoe Keys Pump Station exports all the wastewater out of the Tahoe Keys and to the wastewater treatment plant.

ACC Rule of the Month - NO Phosphorus Fertilizers Section 10 Item 10.15 of the Architectural Control Committee Rules reads as follows: Do not over water or fertilize. Under no circumstances may phosphorous based fertilizers be used. (The middle number on bags of fertilizers must be zero.)

Homeowners are responsible for the products used by their landscapers.

The following are Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s fertilizer guidelines.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) recommends the use of phosphorus-free fertilizer except when establishing new turf from seed. Tahoe soils have adequate phosphorus for turf for many years. The label on a fertilizer bag shows the percentage of the primary plant nutrients as a string of three numbers. These numbers indicate the percent by weight of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Look for a fertilizer in which the middle number is 0.

TRPA brochures clearly outlining the NO PHOSPHOROUS guidelines can be picked up at the TKPOA pavilion lobby or on the TRPA website, www.TRPA.com.

EMPOWERING EVERDAY LIVING April, Occupational Therapy Month, offers an opportunity to understand the unique, holistic approach that occupational therapists bring to healthcare. Occupational therapy (OT) started in the early 20th century with a focus on improving people’s lives by allowing them to complete meaningful occupations. Most people think of an occupation as “work,” however, an occupation encompasses everyday activities, jobs, sports, hobbies, and roles, like being a parent.

Occupational therapists use research and evidencebased interventions to personalize exercises, education, technology, manual techniques, neuromuscular training, and therapeutic activities to make patients safe and independent in all aspects of their lives. Specific areas of OT include: acute care, neurological rehabilitation, lymphedema management, hand therapy, skilled nursing, home health, and pediatrics.

A person commonly works with an occupational therapist as a result of injury, disease, or accident that makes it difficult to complete daily activities.

For example, a disease or injury can affect a person's ability to drive a vehicle, which impacts their ability to be independent and self-sufficient.

Comprehensive screening and evaluation is done by an occupational therapist and uses a variety of tests focused on strength, coordination, range of motion, visual perceptual skills, reaction time, sequencing, and attention. A therapist may use advanced technology, such as the STISIM Driving Simulator, which simulates a wide range of roadway environments and real-world driving situations to assess patient driver capabilities.

With data provided by tests and assessments, the patients’ care team of occupational therapist(s), referring physicians, and any other providers works together to make necessary adjustments to activity clearance, continue assessment and rehabilitation, set safe limits for driving or order retirement from driving, and coaches them on how to utilize other community mobility resources.

Occupational therapists create quality of life and empower everyday living for all. If you or a loved one are challenged with everyday activities, talk to your medical provider about a referral to an occupational therapist to get life back on track.

Driving is a complex and dangerous task that requires simultaneous engagement of sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and motor systems. Given its high consequence, it is important for a person to be assessed for fitness to drive, especially if health issues relating to the required functions exist.

Driving assessments are helpful for a variety of clients including: older drivers, drivers with neurological impairments (traumatic brain Injury, stroke, Parkinson’s, ALS, concussion, etc.), and for drivers with other disabilities.

BE BEAR AWARE Among the gifts of the Sierra Nevada is the opportunity to share the Lake Tahoe Basin with many types of wildlife, including numerous black bears. The chance of seeing one of these magnificent animals has become more and more likely, primarily because people have unwittingly introduced unnatural foods into the bear's regular diet. These new foods include garbage, trash, pet food, and birdseed. Providing the foods that are "natural" to humans is "unnatural" to bears. It attracts them to our garbage. Creating a cycle where bears get food will eventually result in the death of a bear.

2. INSTALL a Bear-Proof enclosure. There are several excellent designs now available. Contact ACC for more information.

A bear's prime motivation is FOOD! TRY keeping food out of the garbage!

5. DO NOT leave a window (screened or not) open with freshly baked goods or other foods on the kitchen counter. Remember if bears can smell it, they will try to get it.

» » » »

»

Bears have a tremendous sense of smell that guides them on their search for food.

Bears learn rapidly and know where they have found food in the past.

Bear problems tend to be temporary. If a bear doesn't find food, it moves on.

Bear problems are a neighborhood problem. As they move on, neighborhoods need to be prepared to frustrate the bear' s search of unnatural food sources.

Bear relocation is not a successful tactic. They usually return to their home range or become a nuisance somewhere else.

3. DO NOT leave trash on your deck or in crawl spaces under the house. Bears can detect odors through closed doors. A flimsy door is almost nonexistent to a bear.

4. DO NOT leave pet food out on decks overnight. Take it inside.

6. KEEP BLINDS CLOSED that might allow bears to see refrigerators, they know refrigerators mean food!

7. DO NOT leave food or ice chests on decks or in vehicles. Bears can smell food, lotions, gum, toothpaste, etc. in your trunk or glove compartment.

8. CLEAN all trash containers with ammonia, bleach, or Pine Sol. 9. CLEAN your BBQ, especially the drip pan. Allow the fire to bum off all food particles.

By understanding the bear's plight and taking our share of the responsibility, we can assure that we will continue to share the Lake Tahoe Basin with the black bear. Food in garbage is an attractant. Try putting inedible food down the garbage disposal!

10. Remember that it is illegal to feed bears. The fine in California is $1,000 or 6 months in jail.

Tips for keeping food out of bear (and other wildlife) reach:

This information is provided as a cooperative effort to raise awareness of the bears and what humans can do to be Bear Aware. Please pass this information along to tenants and house guests.

1. PUT YOUR GARBAGE OUT ON THE MORNING OF PICKUP, not the night before (and certainly not all week long!) Put non-lemon Pine Sol inside every bag. If you can't be there to put your garbage out, ask a neighbor to help or Keys Breeze

BEAR DETERRENT AND WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR GARBAGE By: Jeanette Tillman, Guest Contributor

Garbage Kills Bears Allowing bears to use trash and garbage as a food source creates serious problems for both people and bears.

Because the food reward is so great, bears are willing to work hard to get at trash and garbage and return often in hopes of finding more.

Allowing bears to get into the garbage is one of the leading causes of human-bear conflicts. Being smart about how you handle and store your trash can protect your home and property and reduce animal incidents.

The best deterrent of all is to make sure there’s nothing in your garbage, at your home, or on your property, to attract bears in the first place. This can be as simple as keeping food and other fragrant items out of household garbage, at least until garbage day.

Freeze It You can reduce odors that attract bears by keeping smelly items out of the trash until your collection day. If uneaten food cannot be put down the garbage disposal, try keeping a bag or container in your freezer for any bits of food, meat, bones, fruit, or anything else that’s likely to give off odors.

Use a Bear-Resistant Container Bears use their paws much like people use their hands and can often just pop off or unlatch the lid. Bears are also very strong, so if the lid doesn’t pop off, it’s not much effort for a bear to dent, crack or split an ordinary can. There are a wide variety of bear-resistant containers available, just make sure they are no larger than 32 gallons and weigh less than 50 lbs. for collection personnel.

Did you know?

Bears are great climbers and can easily scoot up and over fencing if there’s something on the other side they really want. Black bears are also good diggers and can tunnel under-neath fencing as well.

Remember that garbage in an enclosure still gives off odors that attract bears and other wildlife. Check your home and property often to make sure there’s nothing else for bears to explore after they give up on the trash.

To learn more about how to reduce animal access by bears, or other wildlife, visit the Living with Wildlife Foundation’s website at www.lwwf.org. This nonprofit organization tests and certifies containers for the International Grizzly Bear Committee. You may be helping to save a bear’s life.

Lock it Up Don’t leave any trash outside overnight; even empty bottles, cans, packages, and recyclables have odors that South Tahoe Refuse also offers food waste drop off at the attract bears. Don’t store trash on your deck or screened- Resource Recovery Facility on Wednesdays from 8AMin porch, and don’t stash your trash in your car, truck, or 5PM at no charge. camper. Put trash out the morning of pick up only.

Jeanette Tillman is the Administrator/Sustainability Keep it Clean Manager at South Tahoe Refuse. For any questions, she Clean your trash containers frequently with ammonia can be contacted at (530) 542-8320 or OR bleach solutions (NEVER TOGETHER! IT CAN KILL!) jeanette@southtahoerefuse.com. or use a heavy-duty pine-scented cleaner. Avoid using anything with a fruity or lemony scent to clean trash cans or anything else outside.

CMT Boating Restrictions Boat Dock Relocation Program On February 28th and April 20th, 2022, the TKPOA BOD approved an Emergency Rule for the Control Methods Test this spring that imposes boating restrictions for some TKPOA Property Owners. We understand that these boating restrictions will impact summer water activities for many homeowners. We ask homeowners, who are able, to consider loaning their dock space to fellow homeowners impacted by these restrictions.

This would be for the duration of the CMT project (May 9th, 2022 through approximately mid-July 2022).

Homeowners willing to loan out dock space and or those in need of dock space are encouraged to sign up for the Boat Dock Relocation Program.

Homeowners interested in loaning: You can donate the use of your dock/slip to another TKPOA Property Owner during the length of the CMT project. You will be solely responsible for your dock/slip and TKPOA will not be held liable for harm/loss of the third party use.

Please see standards below for loaning dock/slips: All lenders must be TKPOA property owners in good standing

•

• •

• •

Homeowners in need of borrowing: You can request to be put on the list of TKPOA Property Owners for a potential dock relocation. It is on a first come first serve basis and you will only be allowed one boat/vessel relocation per owner. Please note this will be limited to the number of available boat docks/slips being lent out from other TKPOA Property Owners.

Please see below standards for borrowing dock boat/ slips:

• •

•

Property owners with a dock to lend should provide, at minimum, information on the slip type, maximum length & beam that can be accommodated, the window of availability, plus any other conditions or restrictions.

Lenders have the final “OK” on whether a boat and its owner are appropriate for their mooring.

The program is intended to facilitate the sharing of dock space during the emergency boating restriction.

Property owners wishing to rent out dock space should use Craig’s List, NextDoor, or other media sources to find renters.

Note that while Cove owners are not permitted to lease their docks, they are encouraged to participate in the “lend a dock” program during the CMT. Contact information for lenders will be released by Keys Breeze

•

|

the TKPOA staff only to Keys property owners in good standing.

All dock lenders must sign the TKPOA waiver.

• •

All borrowers must be TKPOA property owners in good standing.

Property owners seeking a temporary mooring during the test period should provide, at minimum, information on the boat make & model, the length & beam, the period needed, and frequency of use.

After seeking permission from the slip owner, borrowers are responsible for inspecting the mooring for suitability for their boat. Lenders have the final OK on whether a boat and its owner are appropriate for their mooring.

Borrowers finding temporary mooring in the Coves must submit proof of insurance for their boat to the TKPOA. All dock borrowers must sign the TKPOA waiver.

To request a dock relocation or to lend a dock/slip mooring space, please complete and submit the Control Methods Test Boat Dock Relocation Form to the TKPOA Pavilion Front Desk. The Control Methods Test Boat Dock Relocation Form has additional information pertinent to the CMT Dock Relocation Program. Again, we appreciate your patience, flexibility and understanding during the CMT Project.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE By: Dave Peterson, Board President

Spring is approaching, and I wanted to give you all a quick update on our biggest issues: 1.

Water Company. Recall that we have 3 wells, and two of them, wells 2 and 3, have been shut down for some time due to uranium. Well 1, which is our smallest, located near the indoor pool, has been the workhorse throughout the last year. We got well 2 (by the Venice bridge) and well 3 (on west Venice by Pope Marsh) permitted to operate in mid-September, but they weren’t physically ready to operate until the freeze of mid-October. So we scrambled to winterize them instead of activating them, and well 1 continued to serve through this winter. Now that the thaw is upon us, we have been working to get wells 2 and 3 running. It is, of course complicated. The filter media in the resin vessels that remove uranium and the granular activated carbon (GAC) vessels that remove PCE had been sitting so long that there was concern of potential biofouling. So the filter media had to be tested. The good news is that the resin media at both wells 2 and 3 is good to go. The bad news is that the GAC media at well 2 needs to be changed out. So well 3 on west Venice will start up in late March, and well 2 will start up in late April. But all three wells will be operational for the summer, along with the backup interties with Lukins Water and STPUD. We are still

at reduced capacity due to the limited throughput of the uranium treatment systems, but we’ll be far better off than last summer. So we can allow irrigation, but each house and the common areas must stick to assigned time slots, and only three times per week in order to smooth out the water demand. The board has chartered a Water Conservation Committee to lead our efforts at “beating the peak” water demands and reducing our community’s water use in general.

Look for a town hall meeting in April or May on this.

2.

Aquatic Weeds. We finally received all permits needed to conduct the 3-year “control methods test” (CMT), which will test aquatic herbicides in year 1, followed by bottom barriers and UV light in years 2 and 3. The idea is to see if herbicides knock it down sufficiently, and the other methods keep it down. There will be lots of people collecting lots of data, and the whole thing will be hugely expensive. As you have no doubt heard, during the herbicide application period of May through late June this year (possibly into mid-July), parts of the west lagoon system will be dammed off with turbidity curtains to contain the herbicide. The blocked off areas will be off limits to boating and all other water fun. But the curtains will come out in July, and we’ll be back in the fun business. But the scientists will still be

APRIL 2022

20

buzzing around observing and collecting data, so we’ll need to respect and give way. This CMT is costing us all a ton of money, and we don’t want to screw it up!

Hopefully, we come out the end of this with a clear path to full invasive weeds control. But even once we learn how to control it, we still need to go through the long and uncertain process of permitting the full-scale control plan. Keep the faith, we’ll get there! But be advised that there will likely be more assessments for the weeds issue in the future.

In the meantime, we’ll keep the harvesting program going. We just ordered a new $175,000 harvester because our other ones have about had it. We’re planning to improve four launch ramps that we use for the harvesting program, because those have also about had it. But it may not get done this summer, because permitting takes time, and we need to raise the money for construction.

3.

Garbage and Bears. As you know, we have quite a few resident bears; they were born here, they grew up here, they raised cubs here, and they eat here.

Many have no idea how to live in the woods. Garbage was their big food source over the years, but as the association, coves, and homeowners have improved their garbage practices, some bears have been tearing through front doors, window screens, and garage doors to get food. It’s getting expensive for many of our residents, and scary for some. California Department of Fish and Wildlife is working to trap and relocate the urbanized bears, and TKPOA is working to improve garbage practices. The board authorized permanent removal of the pavilion dumpsters, partially because of the bears, but also because of

Keys Breeze

|

aesthetics and the $134,000/year cost of servicing the dumpsters. Single family homeowners that are not here on Friday pickup days can take your trash to the STR facility on Ruth Avenue Monday-Saturday. STR is considering opening on Sundays at some point in the not-too-distant future. Single family homeowners and renters are reminded not to dump trash in the cove dumpsters; you can be fined for that.

STR is also working on a plan to implement bearresistant, smell-resistant totes that would be stored in garages and rolled to the curb on garbage day, then mechanically dumped by new trucks. In the meantime, any of you can apply to the ACC to put in a bear box, if you don’t want to wait for the tote program rollout.

Once this is done, garbage should be pretty well managed in the Keys. This doesn’t cure the problem of bears coming through windows and doors to get into houses. Those bears are not after garbage. We will still need to work with CDFW to relocate problem bears.

There are a host of other issues and projects that the committees, staff, and board are tackling, but I think the three issues above are enough for this article. I’d encourage all of you to get involved through committee participation and stay informed by listening in on monthly board meetings. Please understand that the association relies heavily on volunteer work from the membership, and we keep paid staffing to a minimum so that dues yield maximum results. Please be kind, forgiving, and thankful to our staff and to those who volunteer!

EMERGENCY RULE TKPOA 2022 Control Methods Test (CMT) Boating Restrictions

May 9th, 2022 to Latest Mid-July 2022 On February 28th and April 20th, 2022, pursuant to California Civil Code Section 4360 (d), the Board of Directors adopted by Board Motion the following Emergency Rule to restrict boating activity of any kind in the following West Lagoon and Lake Tallac areas identified as Treatment Areas A, B, and C from May 9th, 2022 to as late as mid-July 2022.

Keys Breeze

|

During this time, the following rules apply: 1.

No boat access, entering or exiting, the Treatment Areas A, B and C 2.

No water activities inside Treatment Areas A, B and C. Water Activities include but are not limited to swimmers, pets, boats, sailboats, personal watercrafts, kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards, etc. The herbicide concentrations to treat the weeds will be at levels safe to humans, pets and fish and wildlife, but avoidance is necessary to protect the validity of the CMT. 3.

No outside visitor access into Treatment Areas A, B and C. If you observe someone violating these rules, please contact TKPOA’s Security Staff. “If you see something, say something”.

APRIL 2022

4.

Boats and other watercraft docked prior to May 8th, 2022 may remain moored, but cannot be operated, from May 9 to as late as mid-July 2022.

Figure 1: Areas A, B and C are restricted from May 9th, 2022 until as late as mid-July 2022.

This Emergency Rule is required due to the Tahoe Keys West Lagoon/Lake Tallac Control Methods Test (CMT) taking place, and the installation of turbidity curtains and barriers in these treatment areas. The CMT taking place during this time period will cost the TKPOA up to $3.0 million dollars, and any interference with these tests sites by homeowner or outsider swimmers, pets, boats, sailboats, personal watercrafts, kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards and similar watercraft could compromise the entire CMT and result in significant financial impact to TKPOA plus years of delays to solving the weeds problem.

TKPOA 2022 Control Methods Test (CMT) Waterway Usage, Recommendations, and Information May 9th, 2022 to Latest Mid-July 2022 The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors, pursuant to Civil Code Section 4360, has adopted an Emergency Rule addressing boating restrictions that will be put into place in the Tahoe Keys West Lagoon waterways during the Water Quality Control Methods Test (CMT). The restrictions will be in place from May 9th, 2022 to latest mid July 2022, unless rescinded, and will significantly impact TKPOA Property Owners and their ability to navigate the waterways.

The CMT will test herbicides in 15 sites and UV-C light in 9 sites of approximately one acre each. The 15 herbicide test sites will be divided into three large ‘test areas’ (see map below). Starting May 9th, 2022, turbidity curtains will be installed to block off the three ‘test areas' from the central lagoon and lake itself.

Given the importance of strictly meeting all CMT permit conditions (there are significant penalties for any violations) and the extremely high cost of this test, violations of the Emergency Rule will be subject to fines as high as $10,000.

BOATING RECOMMENDATIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION:

CMT project is complete and all barriers are removed.

All water activities will be prohibited inside the test areas (Area A, B and C) from May 9th, 2022 until the test parameters are met and the barriers removed. We anticipate test completion by late June but it is possible that restrictions are in place until mid-July 2022.

2.

Do not interfere with the scientists conducting on-water sampling and monitoring.

There will be numerous on-water TKPOA WQ Staff and third-party contractors who need to adhere to a strict monitoring and sampling schedule.

3.

If you rent out your dock slips to outside parties, it is your responsibility to ensure your renters do not violate the Emergency Rule.

Homeowners will be held personally responsible for their actions and the actions of their guests or slip renters for any violations to the Emergency Rule, which could include fines up to $10,000.

4.

Do not interfere with the barriers/buoys in the restricted areas.

In April, in preparation for the test, the TKPOA Water Quality Department is required to install turbidity curtains to seal off the three “test areas” (Areas A, B and C) from the central lagoon and the lake itself. Boats of any kind will not be allowed to enter or exit or operate within the three “test areas” after May 9th, 2022.

Given the importance of this Control Methods Test (CMT), the TKPOA is seeking the support and commitment of all TKPOA Property Owners. The following Boating Recommendations will assist the 5.

Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association – 2022 Trash Program Starting Monday May 2nd, 2022, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) will no longer offer Trash Dumpsters at the TKPOA Pavilion located 356 Ala Wai Boulevard. Based on the 2022 Board of Directors unanimously approved motion during the 2022 Annual Budget approvals, the TKPOA Staff have been directed to remove Trash Dumpster service from the Pavilion at the March 16th, 2022 Regular Open Session – Board of Directors Meeting.

The reason for this change is the rising cost of trash service for the TKPOA and the City of South Lake Tahoe Residents, the forecasted costs for the 2022 Annual Budget is $134,400 for the year. Or in other terms, $87.95 per TKPOA Property Owners per year or $21.99 per quarter. Keep in mind all TKPOA Property Owners already are required to pay South Tahoe Refuse & Recycling Service (STR) for weekly residential trash service, so in a sense they are double paying for this service and may not be even using the TKPOA Pavilion dumpsters. The STR Transfer Station located at 2140 Ruth Avenue is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM-5:00PM for TKPOA Property Owners and City of South Lake Tahoe residents to deposit trash. The STR Transfer Station is not open on Sundays, unlike many other mountain communities transfer stations like Incline Village and Mammoth Lakes. With that said, STR is working toward opening on Sundays and offering a new updated trash service, in the future. All TKPOA Property Owners are rate paying customers of STR have the ability to deposit residential trash at this transfer station Monday through Saturday from 8:00AM5:00PM. TKPOA Property Owners will need to plan ahead when departing on Sundays, since STR will not be open, and they may need to plan to visit the dump on Saturday and/or take home their remaining trash.

The reasons for this change are multiple:

1. To reduce and manage the Trash Expense in the

Common Assessment for all TKPOA Property Owners 2. To better utilize the STR Residential Trash Service at the Transfer Station, that the TKPOA Property Owners are already paying for as rate payers.

3. To prohibit trash dumping by Non Members of the TKPOA in TKPOA owned dumpsters.

4. To improve trash management for the TKPOA

community and provide a safer environment for wildlife.

Starting Monday May 2nd,2022, it will be illegal to dump any trash at the TKPOA Pavilion, there will be no dumpsters located on the property. Any persons dumping trash will be prosecuted for illegal dumping on this property through the City of South (CSLT) Lake Tahoe Police Department - City Code: Chapter 4.150 Refuse and Garage: Ord. 409 § 1; Ord. 921 § 1. Code 1997 § 23-26. Based on surveillance camera footage and security reports those persons illegally dumping at the TKPOA Pavilion property at 356 Ala Wai Boulevard or other TKPOA property, will be prosecuted for this action. The TKPOA will be installing new Security Cameras at the Pavilion along with signage to inform TKPOA Property Owners that illegal dumping will result in prosecution. It is also illegal to dump trash at the TKPOA Cove/Townhome properties unless you are an actual Property Owner of the corresponding Cove/ Townhome. The Cove/Townhome properties already have rules, signage and in some cases security cameras in place to prosecute illegal dumping. There is a $500 fine that can be enforced by the TKPOA as well as the CSLT Ordinance for unauthorized dumping on private property.

The TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff would like to thank all TKPOA Property Owners in advance for their cooperation and consideration in this important change in our community trash management program, to make the Tahoe Keys a safe and clean community.

For Additional Information: Any additional questions can be answered by contacting the TKPOA Front Desk at 530-542-6444 Monday through Friday 8:30AM - 4:30PM, Saturday and Sunday 10:00AM - 2:00PM.
