Since October 2018, the United States section of the International Boundary and Water Commission has catalogued more than 200 billion gallons of toxic waste coming into the United States through the Tijuana River ValleyThe San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted unanimously to pursue legal action against corporations the plaintiffs claim are responsible for the Tijuana River Valley sewage pollution crisis.
Last week, Lawson-Remer joined a group of residents from Imperial Beach who have sued Veolia Water Operating Services and Veolia Water North America-West— entities who operate the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant. Veolia, a French concern, was also involved in the Flint, Michigan, water crisis and has been in litigation for other public health crises in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Colombia.
"No one can properly operate a wastewater treatment plant when the flood breaks pumps, breaks equipment, fills up the tanks," said Adam Lisberg, a senior vice president for external communications."Attacking our company is a distraction from the real root causes that we've all heard about here.""Please come check out what we do," he said."We've been at this for years.
According to Lawson-Remer, in 2017, the county was"preparing to pursue legal action over the wastewater violations now being outlined by the residents of Imperial Beach, but the previous board of supervisors opted for inaction instead."
