Mountain Resort Television: Fallen Leaf Lake Campground closes for week
Submitted by paula on Mon, 06/27/2016 - 4:57pm
Mountain Resort Television covers the story of Fallen Leaf Lake Campground closing this week to spray for plague. Reporter Nicole Marsel also brings us the City in 60 report on the 4th of July parade.
Fallen Leaf Campground will be closed starting Monday, June 27 so county and state public health and vector control officials can start pesticide treatments to minimize the risk of plague.
The treatments are a public safety precaution after tests on 15 rodents resulted in one positive case of plague on June 20, 2016. There is minimal risk to the public at this time.
The campground will close at 7:00 p.m. Monday but all campers will need to check out by noon. The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit expects it to reopen by Friday, July 1 in time for the holiday weekend.
