Description
There is a new push to clean up the cross-border sewage pollution, as Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer and others prepare to submit a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The petition is in partnership with Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, National City Councilmember Marcus Bush and Mayor Ron Morrison, and Chair of the Air Pollution Control District Jack Shu. This is in an effort to pursue a Superfund designation from the EPA.
Nearly 500 residents impacted by the Tijuana Sewage crisis signed a petition, which allowed them to share their stories.
Superfund is a 1980 law that the EPA uses to clean up hazardous waste sites in the United States.
