Fed’s Tijuana River clean-up experiment suffers storm damage
A storm wiped out millions of dollars’ worth of experimental Tijuana River treatment technology paid for by a cash-strapped federal agency just months after setting it up. Others working to manage trash on a separate project where the river crosses from Mexico into the United States said they warned the tech company, Greenwater Services, of the poor location of their equipment next to the flood-prone river. But last week’s intense rainstorm swept away their equipment trailers and overturned at least one diesel generator, spilling an estimated 1,000 gallons of fuel into the river.
