Natural Resources Natural Resources Agency programs protect and restore California's diverse, abundant natural and cultural resources for current and future generations, including 278 state park units, stunning coastlines and lakes, spectacular forests, vast fish and wildlife habitats, rich farmlands and mineral resources. Agency programs also protect the public through suppression of wildfires, construction of levees in the Central Valley, and permitting environmentally safe energy power plants. These programs not only contribute to the state's unique quality of life, but also are critical to sustaining a vibrant economy.

The Conservancy achieves its mission by developing and implementing programs that acquire environmentally sensitive land, provide grants or directly fund soil erosion prevention and watershed restoration, improve stream environments and wildlife habitats, and improve water quality. The Conservancy also balances these activities with programs to improve public access and recreational opportunities in an environmentally sound manner by acquiring lakefront property, constructing pedestrian and bike paths, and building public access facilities. The Conservancy is also a key implementing agency of the Environmental Improvement Program (EIP) which is a 1997 agreement between California, Nevada, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the federal government, local governments, and various private entities to commit $908 million over 10 years to a list of acquisition and capital improvement projects needed to achieve environmental goals in the Basin. The EIP is updated periodically to include more refined estimates of projects, modifications in the scope of identified projects, and inclusion of new projects. The 2008-2018 EIP was finalized in July 2009. California has yet to officially adopt the 2008-2018 EIP. Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on the Tahoe Conservancy's Capital Outlay Program, see "Infrastructure Overview." 3-YR EXPENDITURES AND PERSONNEL YEARS (Summary of Program Requirements) Personnel Years Expenditures 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2008-09* 2009-10* 2010-11* 10 Tahoe Conservancy 40.2 48.4 48.4 $10,794 $18,794 $5,962 TOTALS, POSITIONS AND EXPENDITURES (All Programs) 40.2 48.4 48.4 $10,794 $18,794 $5,962 FUNDING 2008-09* 2009-10* 2010-11* 0001 General Fund $197 $178 $200 0005 Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Fund 177 1,057 18 0140 California Environmental License Plate Fund 3,256 3,091 3,325 0262 Habitat Conservation Fund 116 102 109 0286 Lake Tahoe Conservancy Account 866 909 1,025 0568 Tahoe Conservancy Fund 219 203 219 0890 Federal Trust Fund 139 272 215 0995 Reimbursements 60 60 60 6029 California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection 170 833 37 Fund 6031 Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Fund of 2002 400 3,940 244 6051 Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal 5,194 8,149 510 Protection Fund of 2006 TOTALS, EXPENDITURES, ALL FUNDS $10,794 $18,794 $5,962 LEGAL CITATIONS AND AUTHORITY DEPARTMENT AUTHORITY Government Code, Title 7.42, commencing with Section 66905.
