A $5 million cleanup project in the Tijuana River Valley will begin in early 2024, with a completion date before the end of March, officials said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 in favor of dredging drainage channels and building a basin for sediment and trash control in the Smuggler's Gulch and Pilot channels.
Board Vice Chair Terra Lawson-Remer said the county"is stepping up to tackle the Tijuana sewage crisis — not just in advocating for desperately needed federal action, but also in literally rolling up our sleeves and cleaning up the area with the resources we have." Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas called the project a"good first step," demonstrating to area residents that the county will continue with improvements.
County officials said that since last December,"an alarming 35 billion gallons" have flowed north into U.S. territory from the sewage treatment plant in Punta Bandera, Mexico, impacting the San Diego coastline during the summer.
