The agency reported progress on the agreement between the U.S. and Mexico to clean up the Tijuana River.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a quarterly public update on the Tijuana River sewage crisis affecting the San Diego region and parts of Mexico. The United States continues to work with Mexico to clean up the Tijuana River and end the decades-long water pollution crisis.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin stated, “This latest public update highlights the urgent progress being made to fully implement last year’s agreement. Safeguarding human health and the environment is EPA’s foremost responsibility, and we are committed to ensuring that every American has access to clean air, land, and water.”
The report stated that the Parallel Gravity Line has been completed, construction on Phase 2 of the Tijuana River gates has begun, and the first major construction contract was awarded for the expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant. Approximately 16,622 feet of the Tijuana River pilot channel has been cleared.
