Lawson-Remer collecting signatures, stories to petition EPA for Tijuana River Superfund
Following last week’s vote by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to delay any formal decision on pursuing a Superfund designation for the Tijuana River Valley, Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer Monday decided to get public support. Lawson-Remer put out a call on Monday for San Diego County residents impacted by the Tijuana River sewage crisis to sign her petition to the Environmental Protection Agency. “The Tijuana River sewage crisis affects all of our coastal neighborhoods,” she said. … The board voted 3-2 on Oct. 9 to wait on pursuing the Superfund distinction under the 1980 law which lets the EPA clean up contaminated areas, such as the infamous Love Canal in Niagara Falls, New York.
