Since that time additional funding resources of $30,000 has been identified in the AB 939 program, and the South Lake Tahoe Basin Waste Management Authority has conceptually approved a contribution up to $40,000 towards the Plan. Based upon these funding sources, there is a current funding gap of approximately $21,000.
