Abstract

AT&T has agreed to remove approximately six miles of lead cables that have been submerged in Lake Tahoe for decades, following a settlement agreement with the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance. The cables, which contain about 3.39 pounds of lead per foot, were found to be contaminating the lake and posing a risk of exposure. AT&T maintains that the cables do not pose a threat to public health or the environment. Lake Tahoe is a freshwater lake located on the border between California and Nevada.
