‘Milestone for Lake Tahoe’: Major cleanup effort complete
Several miles of century-old lead-lined telephone cables laid along the bottom of Lake Tahoe, feared by many locals to have leached toxic chemicals into the water, have been removed. News of the removal came Thursday afternoon from the League to Save Lake Tahoe, a nonprofit conservation group that helped coordinate the effort in partnership with telecommunications giant AT&T, which is believed to have owned the cables in question.
