Douglas County commissioners are scheduled to hear a report from the U.S. Geological Survey regarding nitrates in the aquifer. Past reports have centered around Johnson Lane and Ruhenstroth where most of the early development included septic tanks.

First reading of zone change for a metal recycling plant and a storage unit proposal off Buckeye Road are among the items on the agenda.

It’s fairly blustery out this morning with gusts of 31 mph out of the south at Minden-Tahoe Airport as a front passes north of us this morning.
