SAN DIEGO - San Diego County government has officially requested an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and California Department of Public Health on cross-border pollution and its effect on public health, the Board of Supervisors chairwoman announced Wednesday.
As board chairwoman, and a member of the California Air Resource Board and Air Pollution Control District, Vargas added that she is"deeply committed to addressing the biggest environmental and social justice crisis of our lifetime. Cross-border pollution has become a bigger issue for county and coastal municipal leaders, with the Board of Supervisors in June 2023 declaring a state of emergency.According to Vargas' office, she sent a letter to the U.S. Congress this week in support of an additional $200 million for the International Boundary and Water Commission construction account for fiscal year 2025, which a House of Representatives committee was to review Wednesday.
Also that month, state Sen. Steve Padilla -- whose district includes southern San Diego County -- said that he would introduce environmental justice legislation to tackle border pollution.
