LATimes excerpt.
“ Sewage flows through the Tijuana River Valley have been a decades-long issue, and closures at San Diego County beaches have also been routine for decades. Beaches in the San Diego area were closed more than 500 days over the last three years due to toxic water pollution.
The $300-million provision in the trade deal will help fund a new U.S. facility to capture Tijuana sewage spills before they foul shorelines in San Diego County.”
