SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    The Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (Public Law 106-506; 114 Stat. 2351) 
is amended by striking section 2 and inserting the following:

``SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    ``(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            ``(1) Lake Tahoe--
                    ``(A) is 1 of the largest, deepest, and clearest 
                lakes in the world;
                    ``(B) has a cobalt blue color, a biologically 
                diverse alpine setting, and remarkable water clarity; 
                and
                    ``(C) is recognized nationally and worldwide as a 
                natural resource of special significance;
            ``(2) in addition to being a scenic and ecological 
        treasure, the Lake Tahoe Basin is 1 of the outstanding 
        recreational resources of the United States, which--
                    ``(A) offers skiing, water sports, biking, camping, 
                and hiking to millions of visitors each year; and
                    ``(B) contributes significantly to the economies of 
                California, Nevada, and the United States;
            ``(3) the economy in the Lake Tahoe Basin is dependent on 
        the protection and restoration of the natural beauty and 
        recreation opportunities in the area;
            ``(4) the Lake Tahoe Basin continues to be threatened by 
        the impacts of land use and transportation patterns developed 
        in the last century that damage the fragile watershed of the 
        Basin;
            ``(5) the water clarity of Lake Tahoe declined from a 
        visibility level of 105 feet in 1967 to only 70 feet in 2008;
            ``(6) the rate of decline in water clarity of Lake Tahoe 
        has decreased in recent years;
            ``(7) a stable water clarity level for Lake Tahoe could be 
        achieved through feasible control measures for very fine 
        sediment particles and nutrients;
            ``(8) fine sediments that cloud Lake Tahoe, and key 
        nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen that support the 
        growth of algae and invasive plants, continue to flow into the 
        lake from stormwater runoff from developed areas, roads, turf, 
        other disturbed land, and streams;
            ``(9) the destruction and alteration of wetland, wet 
        meadows, and stream zone habitat have compromised the natural 
        capacity of the watershed to filter sediment, nutrients, and 
        pollutants before reaching Lake Tahoe;
            ``(10) approximately 25 percent of the trees in the Lake 
        Tahoe Basin are either dead or dying;
            ``(11) forests in the Tahoe Basin suffer from over a 
        century of fire suppression and periodic drought, which have 
        resulted in--
                    ``(A) high tree density and mortality;
                    ``(B) the loss of biological diversity; and
                    ``(C) a large quantity of combustible forest fuels, 
                which significantly increases the threat of 
                catastrophic fire and insect infestation;
            ``(12) the establishment of several aquatic and terrestrial 
        invasive species (including bass, milfoil, and Asian clam) 
        threatens the ecosystem of the Lake Tahoe Basin;
            ``(13) there is an ongoing threat to the Lake Tahoe Basin 
        of the introduction and establishment of other invasive species 
        (such as the zebra mussel, New Zealand mud snail, and quagga 
        mussel);
            ``(14) the report prepared by the University of California, 
        Davis, entitled the `State of the Lake Report', found that 
        conditions in the Lake Tahoe Basin had changed, including--
                    ``(A) the average surface water temperature of Lake 
                Tahoe has risen by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit in 
                the past 37 years; and
                    ``(B) since 1910, the percent of precipitation that 
                has fallen as snow in the Lake Tahoe Basin decreased 
                from 52 percent to 34 percent;
            ``(15) 75 percent of the land in the Lake Tahoe Basin is 
        owned by the Federal Government, which makes it a Federal 
        responsibility to restore environmental health to the Basin;
            ``(16) the Federal Government has a long history of 
        environmental preservation at Lake Tahoe, including--
                    ``(A) congressional consent to the establishment of 
                the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency with--
                            ``(i) the enactment in 1969 of Public Law

                        96-551 (94 Stat. 3233);

                Management Unit in 1973;
