… On Monday, board chair supervisor Tara Lawson Remer and Supervisor Paloma Aguirre will unveil a new proposal. … The idea is to design a treatment system on the U.S. side of the border that catches the raw sewage before it moves down stream in San Diego communities and beaches. It appears the construction of this type of infrastructure would happen in phases. While the details of the proposal are still up in the air, Board Chair Supervisor Tara Lawson Remer and Supervisor Paloma Aguirre will unveil some of the specifics at a press conference Monday. … County Supervisors said they hope introducing this new initiative will protect the public health, environment, and local economy; and get the Tijuana River off the American Rivers conservation group’s most endangered list.
