NOTICE OF TRIBE"S EFFORTS TO CONTROL NOXIOUS WEEDS ON THE SUMMIT LAKE RESERVATION.
Dear Tribal Members and Others, To view the Tribe's notice of its efforts to control noxious weeds, see the Natural Resource Department Page.
EFFORTS TO FIGHT POLLUTION OF RESERVATION AND WASTERSHED
ANNUAL VEHICLE FEE HELPS STOP POLLUTION:
People driving through the Reservation do not clean their vehicles of noxious weed seeds (e.g., Perennial pepperweed, Scotch thistle, Hoary cress, etc.) and their vehicles leak petroleum products and coolant. Posted: 05.20.2010
With the exception of three Tribe roads (Routes 1, 2 and 3), all other Reservation roads were closed to the public, and a fee of $100.00 per vehicle (trucks, trailers, ATVs, motorcycles, and bicycles (whether or not the latter three are on trucks or trailers)) is required to be paid by members of the public who wish to enter the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout ("LCT") Study Area from the Tribe's portion of the road leading to the LCT Study Area. More information, call the Tribe's Acting Chief Administrative Employee at (775) 827-9670. Posted: 10.20.09
