News WiLDCOAST victory: border plant to be upgraded, Bajagua cancelled
WiLDCOAST applauds the decision by the International Boundary and Water Commission to cancel the Bajagua Project and to upgrade the existing sewage treatment plant in San Ysidro
by Serge Dedina
16/05/2008:// The commission argued that this would improve the San Ysidro sewage plant's treatment levels, which currently fail to meet federal Clean Water Act standards.
"This action, is a an affirmation of good government and the need to resolve the border sewage crisis in a cost effective manner. We are happy that the voice of thousands of border residents were heard over the millions of dollars spent by Bajagua on lobbying and campaign contributions," said Serge Dedina, Executive Director of WiLDCOAST. "We are grateful to the IBWC for making this important decision and are thankful to Senator Feinstein for stepping up as a clean water champion and fighting for clean beaches and clean water on the U.S.-Mexico border."
In a letter to the IBWC Commisioner, WiLDCOAST, Heal the Bay, Natural Resources Defense Council, the Audubon Society, the Sierra Club, Southwest Wetlands Interpretative Association (SWIA), California Coastal Protection Network, Grupo de los Cien Internacional, Coronado Surfing Association, Tijuana River Citizens' Council, and the Border Power Plant Working Group commended the decision as "a critical step towards implementing the comprehensive clean water plan we need at the San Diego-Tijuana border."
"For a decade, we've had the IWTP discharging off our beaches against Clean Water Act standards. We cannot afford to waste more time. What we need today is action. It is time to upgrade the International Wastewater Treatment Plant" said Paloma Aguirre,President of the Tijuana River Citizens Council.
