Description: Traffic congestion data for roadway segments in the tahoe basin. This dataset represents the roadway segments for which we monitor traffic congestion. This data can be joined to the spatial 'congestion_spatial' dataset by the 'id' field.
Description: Surface and submerged littoral substrates in Lake Tahoe, CA, NV were mapped from high-resolution satellite imagery using Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) analysis techniques. The derived substrate classes were translated into three fish habitats classes (spawning, feed and cover, marginal) in order to evaluate the attainment status with environmental standards related to nearshore fish habitat and to improve map products used for land-use planning and regulatory purposes. The results confirm previous satellite mapping efforts that feed and cover habitats and spawning grounds are limited in distribution to distinct areas around the lake. Our results support the use of high-resolution satellite data for discriminating substrate variation at a resolution sufficient to inform regional planning. Management and land-use actions may consider additional focus on these areas to maintain Lake Tahoe littoral fish habitat characteristics.

Description: Sierra Nevada Multi-Source Meadow Polygons Compilation (v 2.0). This dataset includes Stream Habitat Condition Scores (labeled "Final Rating"), for stream segments within Riverine type SEZ Assessment Units. The Stream Habitat Condition encompass scores for Headcuts, Erosion, Incision, Aquatic Organism Passage Barriers, CSCI, and IPI, averaged across indicators with available data. Other fields included are stream miles, SEZ name and ID. This data is collected and processed by Tahoe Regional Planning Agency using the SEZ Basin-wide Monitoring and Assessment Plan. Reported in the Lake Tahoe Info Threshold Dashboard and Monitoring Dashboard.

Description: This shapefile contains records for aquatic invasive plant control projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin Region. This dataset does not include historic infestation sites. Points are generalized and in some cases multiple small, discrete populations may be grouped as a single control site for planning logistics. Data should be interpreted with this in mind. Attributes are listed for aquatic invasive plant species detected at each location, plant (infestation) status, and management (infest) status and control methods implemented in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. Confirmation of species and status was obtained during contracted dive team during field visits. Development of status categories is ongoing and subject to change in future updates to this dataset. Abbreviation Definitions:EWM = Eurasian watermilfoil CLP = curly-leaf pondweedNZM = New Zealand mudsnailInvPlantSp = Aquatic Invasive Plant SpeciesContr = Control Methods DAS = diver assisted suctionSM or surveillance = surveillance monitoringSA = site assessmentMMP SA = Marina Management Plant Site Assessment (different boundary)SA w NZM = Site Assessment with addition of divers tasked with detecting NZM in survey boundary with a focus on future treatment areasInfest_Sta = This attribute describes the management status of the infestation site. This status incorporates current treatment needed, diver effort, and current funding to prioritize planning efforts and future funding. This status does not indicate the amount of plants, level of establishment, or threat level of an infestation. P1- Planning 1: "Passive" Known or possible infestation. Information regarding the location may be insufficient, access to the site may be blocked, or a funding strategy for future treatment has not yet been established. If there is a funding lapse in a control or surveillance project, those sites will be changed to this category until funding plan is resolved.P2 - Planning 2: "Active" Known infestation. Active planning and/or procurement of funds are being actively implemented. Site Assessments, coordination with land owners, Containment, marina-led maintence treatment, or pilot methods testing projects may be being implemented. Active control methods (barriers, diver-assisted suction, UV-C, or dredging) will likely be needed to treat this site. C1 - Infestation Active Control 1: Known infestation. Active control methods (barriers, diver-assisted suction, UV-C, dredging, site preparation, or methods testing) were implemented over the course of the season. C2 - Infestation Hand Removal 2: First time or previously treated control site that only required hand removal to maintain the weed-free status. Over the course of one season, surveillance visits utilizing hand removal may require substantial effort (20 diver hours) beyond the baseline expected surveillance effort. EDRR sites that are discovered and treated with only hand removal during the season will remain in this category until they are accomodated for in the Surveillance Monitoring plan. S1 - Surveillance Higher Risk 1: Previously treated control site. Over the course of one season, no more than 20 divers hours over the expected surveillance effort was required at this site to maintain weed free status.S2 - Surveillance Lower Risk 2: Historic infestation site. AIP have been treated and/or detected in this location. Consecutive surveys over the course of at least three years have shown no detections. Plant_Stat - this attribute describes the general status of the plant establishment at an infestation site. It is a binary attribute to distinguish between established infestations and infestations that have been completely treated and contain little to no plants. Established Infestation = This indicates a location where aquatic invasive plants are known to be established. This is either because it has not yet been treated, it has only been partially treated, or a high volume of plants return after treatment. It does not indicate whether control work is currently taking place at this location. Surveillance= This indicates a location where aquatic invasive plants have been previously treated. Little to minimal regrowth has been documented. Projection: NAD_1983_CORS96_UTM_Zone_11N, Transverse MercatorDatum: D_NAD_1983_CORS96
