RCRA-clipse in Lake Tahoe

Get your RCRA training—and take in the solar eclipse with us in Lake Tahoe, August 21-25, 2017. We’ll be at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe, where the rooms offer a towering view of the blue waters and pristine shores of the lake. There’s plenty of hiking near the hotel.

We’ll see you there.
