Description
A massive amount of sewage and trash is moving through the Tijuana River Valley and to the San Diego County coast.
People who live in Imperial Beach say it’s getting harder to deal with the amount of sewage and trash left behind after each storm.
“We live with it, it’s a generational problem," said longtime Imperial Beach resident, Jose Corral.
Imperial Beach resident Damian Miller said he struggles to breathe in the area oftentimes.
“You can’t breathe, you can’t run," he said.
“I run along the Tijuana River floodplain, so I see the pollution. I experience the floods; I experience the aftermath you see the garbage," added Corral.
CBS 8 first captured what the Tijuana River Valley looked like after a powerful storm sent an estimated 14.5 billion gallons of raw sewage into California.
