Overview

Basics

Basics
Wood smoke from inefficient wood-burning appliances is a substantial source of air pollution in the Lake Tahoe Region. The smoke emitted from incomplete wood combustion contains fine particulate matter, greenhouse gas emissions, carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants. Replacing older wood-burning appliances with more efficient heating appliances can significantly improve Lake Tahoe’s air and water quality. TRPA has partnered with local agencies to offer rebates ranging from $400 to $2,000 for the replacement of older woodstoves. This project currently includes woodstove replacement and removals for the basin portions of Washoe County, Douglas County, El Dorado County, and Placer County

03/31/2016 4:36 PM Kimberly Chevallier Jennifer Cannon has the data of amount of rebates given by each jurisdiction.
01/29/2016 2:54 PM Mike Vollmer This program tracks non-compliant wood stoves upon sale of homes. Therefore, no expenditures are recorded.
05/21/2014 6:02 PM System Assumed $200 per removal of stoves (all three reported in 2010 were stove removals, not retrofits). This is based on an invoice attached to one of the wood stove retrofit applications that showed it cost $200 to remove the stove and cap the chimney.
05/21/2014 6:01 PM System Reporting is based on Wood Heather Retrofit Program application submittals that showed removal and/or retrofit of nonconforming wood stoves.
