Key Elements
Maintaining the natural beauty and character of the West Shore:
By building on the unique natural and architectural assets of the region.
In-fill Site Plan:
Implement an in-fill site by having the resort occupy an area that has previously been developed.
Watershed Plan:
The idea is to identify and then improve problem areas where features like ski runs, roads, and streams are all in very close proximity and have compromised one another. Improvements such as road restoration or stream channel restoration may vary from site to site. These improvements will last for generations and will help ensure that the clarity of Lake Tahoe is not compromised.
Renewable Energy:
The ability to produce energy on site helps to minimize global environmental impacts. The availability of the site's sun, wind, water and timber resources will be quantified and studied in an effort to diversify Homewood's energy resources and diminish the Resort's energy impacts.
Some of these alternative energy methods may only be relevant in the warmer summer months, however, with a diversity of energy sources, Homewood will aim to offset its environmental impacts all year long.
