Local and state elected officials Thursday thanked President Biden and others for requesting $310 million to expand wastewater treatment in the South Bay as part of an ongoing effort to tackle cross-border pollution in the Tijuana River Valley."The inclusion of $310 million to address the sewage crisis in the president's emergency supplemental request marks a significant step forward in tackling this crisis," said San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas.
The Smuggler's Gulch channel enters the United States from Mexico and runs north until it crosses the Pilot Channel and flows into the Tijuana River and finally to the Pacific Ocean."For far too long, toxic waste and raw sewage have flowed across the border, and Tropical Storm Hilary overwhelmed the system even further, pushing hundreds of millions of gallons of untreated stormwater and wastewater into Southern California," he said.
