Feds visit Imperial Beach to assess economic toll of Tijuana River pollution crisis
William Briggs, deputy administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, traveled to Imperial Beach on Tuesday to hear directly from small business owners about the economic impact of the ongoing Tijuana River pollution crisis, framing the visit as a fact-finding mission ahead of potential federal action. … Following the roundtable, Briggs joined the delegation for a visit to pollution sites along the Tijuana River corridor, including the Saturn Boulevard hotspot — a stretch of the river on the U.S. side where sewage and industrial waste is aerosolized into harmful gases, including hydrogen sulfide, and carried by the wind into surrounding communities.
