On May 25th, 2022, the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) received final approval from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB) of the submitted Aquatic Pesticide Application Plan (APAP) Amendments 1 and 2, allowing the Control Methods Test (CMT) to move forward as scheduled. The 2022 CMT Boating Restrictions Emergency Rule has also been officially changed based on this approval on May 25th, 2022, which includes the new location of Site 14. The TKPOA has installed the turbidity curtains to align with this approved Site 14 move, and the extent of Restricted Area A (RED) has been decreased.
