The US and Mexico step are closer to the permanent end of the sewer crisis that breaks over the border into the water by the San Diego coast, Environmental Protection Agency The boss Lee Zeldin announced.

“This week, EPA has been transmitted by Mexico proposed” 100% solution “, which would endure a decade of old crisis of raw sewer sewer that came to the United States from Mexico. Further, technical groups from both countries will meet through details needed to hope to have come to an emergency on Friday,” Zeldin posted X.

Last month, Zeldin visited San Diego, where he announced talks with his government colleagues in Mexico to end the decade question. The problem, charged with outdated wastewater infrastructure, has lasted for decades, but in recent years it has been spiral while the population of Tijuana has jumped sharply.

The sewage water not only threatened the mass tourist industry of the San Diego and the locals, but also represents the risk of national security because it pollutes the waters in which the US Navy members and candidates have trained, Fox Digital has previously reported.

In February, the General of the Ministry of Defense announced a report that found that the Maritime Special War Center had reported 1,168 cases of acute gastrointestinal diseases among the candidates for seals between January 2019 and May 2023.

Last month, Zeldin said that he and his colleagues in Mexico launched well-meaning conversations about updating infrastructure and water management, adding that he entered “specifics”, including the “comprehensive list of everything we believe with with full confidence he would end the crisis on both sides of the US border and Mexico.

“Now, if you do not do all the other projects and all you do is clean the current contamination, that moment of good feeling will last about one day,” Zeldin said during a press conference in San Diego last month. “We need to stop the flow. Mexico must fill its part in cleaning the contamination they caused.”

“We need Mexico not to undertake not only all the projects that will stop the flow, but to actually finish this project, they will have to commit to that final cleaning,” he added.

Zeldin first solved the problem of sewage in March before reviewing the trip to take over the issue.

“I just met that Mexico casts large quantities of raw sewers into the Tijuan River and now penetrates the US,” he announced on March 8. “That’s unacceptable. Mexico must honor His obligations to control this pollution and sewer! ”

Local leaders sound alarm to the sewer problem. In March, Imperial Beach Paloma Paloma Aguirre sent a letter to Zeldin, describing how raw sewage has encouraged one of the “most terrible American environmental and public health disasters”, because billions of Galona have been polluted by the Pacific Ocean since 2023.

“Toxic sewage that crossed the border from Mexico to South District of San Diego one is one of the most terrible American environmental and public health disasters,” Aguirre is a letter from March 3 Zeldin, published on the network. “Since 2023, over 31 billion gallons of raw sewers, polluted stormwater and garbage have been through the Mexican border, down the Tijuan River, through the cities of San Diego and Imperial Beach and the Pacific Ocean.”

“Our residents got sick of polluted air,” the letter continued. “Workers, including navy seals Training in the area is painful at work by water and aerosolized diseases. Many homeowners were forced to accommodate the air quality monitors on their property, so they know if it is safe to go out there or not. And the economic impact is deep, with the sewer crisis to harm tourism of the area, the affairs of the maritime industry and the local property values. ”

San Diego is one of The best cities of the state for tourism – Behind other national treasures such as New York City, New Orleans and Washington, DC – attracting about 32 million tourists in the city of 2024, the tourist administration in San Diego reported earlier.

During his visit to San Diego last month, Zeldin vowed to end the question because the Californians were running out with a crisis patience.

“Americans on our side of the border dealing with these … have been without patience for decades,” Zeldin said at a press conference on Tuesday in San Diego. “There is no way we stand in front of California people and ask them to have more patience and just deal with all of us as we go through the next 10 or 20 or 30 years stuck in 12 feet of raw sewers and we get nowhere.”
