Tijuana River Valley Sewage Crisis: Federal Support and Superfund Proposal
Tijuana River Valley Sewage Crisis
San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer announced her decision to pursue a federal Superfund designation for the Tijuana River Valley in response to an ongoing sewage crisis. This follows a recent vote by her colleagues to delay any formal action.
Collaborative Efforts to Address the Crisis
In her statement, Lawson-Remer indicated that she will coordinate with other elected officials, including Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, National City Council member Marcus Bush, and National City Mayor Ron Morrison. Their combined efforts aim to garner federal attention and assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Urgent need for federal support
- Collaborative involvement of local officials
- Focus on environmental health
Jack Shu, chairman of the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, is also expected to join this initiative to tackle the sewage crisis affecting the Tijuana River Valley.
