Lead cable removal project’s final phase planned for fall

Project partners are returning to Baldwin Beach this upcoming fall to tackle the final phase of lead cable removal, pulling out the last 75 feet of the nearly 100 year old cable system. It’s the final leg of removal after a barge crew pulled around eight miles of cable from Lake Tahoe’s depths in November. The remaining length of cable runs from the sand on Baldwin Beach, and into the land. Depending on the water level, the capped and enclosed end can be underwater. It marks where the project’s first phase stopped and the second phase will begin. The project required two different permits, which necessitated the two-part removal. The USDA Forest Service is the lead permitting agency on this final phase at Baldwin Beach. … According to the Forest Service’s Special Uses/Lands Program Manager, Karen Kuentz, the fall removal allows time for botanists to adequately survey the California endangered Tahoe yellow cress and to minimally impact the recreating public.
