LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – The public comment period for the Environmental Assessment for the Barton project has been extended to February 7. The TRPA has posted the message below:
The scoping period for the Environmental Assessment for the potential project has been extended to February 7 to give the public and partner organizations additional time to provide comments on the scope of the environmental analysis.
A scoping period helps identify specific areas that an environmental analysis should include, such as water quality, transportation, or scenic quality, and helps identify project alternatives that are also studied. TRPA, Douglas County, and Barton Health opened the public scoping period in December 2024. TRPA held a public workshop with Barton and Douglas County representatives on January 16, 2025 to answer questions about the review process and possible amendments to the Douglas County South Shore Area Plan.
Written comments will be accepted through February 7, 2025 to BartonProject@trpa.gov, or by mail to the address provided here.
TRPA staff is waiting for the completion of the Environmental Assessment (EA) before the application is considered complete and the review process can proceed. Please review the notice and project documents below to provide input.
