San Diego County rejects shot at millions of dollars to clean polluted Tijuana River Valley
On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors rejected a notion that could’ve resulted in millions of dollars and other resources to clean up the badly-polluted Tijuana River Valley, a decision that baffled and disappointed Paloma Aguirre and other political and community leaders in the area. “It’s frustrating,” said Aguirre, mayor of Imperial Beach. She wanted the County of San Diego to declare the valley as a “Superfund Site,” meaning the federal government and Environmental Protection Agency would have to start an investigation into the pollution and sewage problems in the Tijuana River Valley.
