- The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the leadership of EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, has made strides in addressing California’s persistent sewage cleanup challenges.
- A significant focus of the EPA’s efforts is on the Tijuana River sewage projects, which have been a long-standing issue affecting the San Diego area.
- Through a collaborative effort with Mexico, the EPA has successfully accelerated the timelines for these sewage projects.
- As a result of this U.S.-Mexico collaboration, the construction timelines for the projects have been reduced by approximately 12 years.
- This reduction in construction time signifies a substantial advancement in efforts to resolve the sewage problem impacting communities in San Diego.
- The initiative demonstrates the potential benefits of international cooperation in addressing environmental and public health challenges.
