U.S. EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner and Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) H. Martin Lancaster will chair a workshop on Lake Tahoe's water quality at the Tallac Historic Site on the edge of Lake Tahoe in California on June 18, 1997. The water quality workshop is one of three workshops being held by Clinton Administration officials in preparation for the Lake Tahoe Presidential Forum to be hosted by the President and Vice President on July 25 and 26.
At the workshop, Browner and Lancaster will be joined by state,
local and tribal officials, representatives from citizen, environmental
and local business groups, and members of the community to discuss
the challenges of protecting the health of the lake while maintaining
economic growth, and to reaffirm the shared federal, state, tribal
and community commitment to Lake Tahoe. The July 25-26 Lake
Tahoe Presidential Forum will address the serious economic
and environmental challenges facing Lake Tahoe and focus on strategies
for protecting the lake and its communities for the next generation
of Americans. The other two issue workshops leading up
to the Presidential Forum include Forest Ecosystem Restoration,
Recreation and Tourism on Monday, July 30; and Transportation
