Until such time as the Forest Service selects a remedy or remedies for the site and costs are more definite, it is premature for the parties to enter into mediation.

We're going to work with agencies like TRPA and take a look at the entire basin. It used to be just look at immediate needs to reduce fuel but now we have a way to focus long-term, and the technology is there to connect that.

We're just getting going with (fuels) reduction and projects that will really help the watershed. I think we're starting to get a handle on the kinds of tangible projects that will make both immediate and long-term impact(s).

Historically it's a seasonal marsh. We will have to evaluate the property and see what can and cannot be done to restore the marshland or responsibly keep the lake intact.

I think (people) have to remember that any acquisition goes through a long process before it gets funded.

We don't have any word for sure. On the record, I know what you know - which is wait for the announcement ... but there has been speculation.

We're trying to ensure the dam, which has been identified for years as being at risk for failure. That's the most crucial structure. After that we'll identify the status of the buildings on the parcel.

We go through phases. So far we don't have anything complete except for portions of projects.

Each community will devise for themselves their own community vision. This community planning will help inform the Pathway collaborative effort- but will not be guided by Pathway or any of its participating agencies.

This is a forest ecosystem that has lived with very frequent fire. The ecosystem here has developed and is dependent on that. There is no ecosystem replacement for it.

A big advantage of SNPLMA is being able to (apply for) multi-year projects. Projects used to end each fiscal year so it was difficult to look long-term.

It's a long, comprehensive, intensive process. Not something anyone takes lightly.

For some of the bigger areas, the more we get done, the more we discover there is to do.

The forum will begin work on strategies - the how and what of the planning phase.

It's true. We're really working hard to make Incline Lake a reality, but that doesn't mean that we're not focused on other projects to improve the basin - sometimes big projects.
