"The Trump administration has secured an agreement with Mexico to ensure a solution to the decades-long Tijuana River sewage crisis, with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin calling it a “massive environmental and national security win.”
The city of Tijuana’s sewage pollution crisis has been forcing San Diego beaches closed and making Americans sick for years as the mismanagement grew worse....the issue “is primarily attributed to a combination of outdated infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, and natural factors.”..... over 100 billion gallons of raw sewage mixed with industrial chemicals and garbage have poured into the Tijuana River and San Diego County since 2018.
The U.S. and Mexico signed a treaty known as “Minute 328” to deal with the crisis in 2022, with the Mexican government committing $144 million and the U.S. committing $350 million to sewage management projects.
Zeldin revealed Thursday that Mexico still has yet to obligate a whopping $93 million of those funds, but that would change with the new MOU.
“Mexico will obligate the remaining $93 million of Minute 328 funds that they hadn’t yet obligated,” an EPA press release states." Breitbart
