PCL, Stantec outline $250M expansion of San Diego wastewater treatment plant
The design-build team of Stantec and PCL Construction detailed the planned $250-million expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Diego, Calif., a project that has recently been fast-tracked due to the ongoing transboundary raw sewage flows from Tijuana, Mexico. Michael Watson, senior vice president and major projects lead for water at Stantec and Jeff Newman, operations manager at PCL, said at a public meeting held by the U.S. section of the International Boundary and Water Commission June 12 that they had validated that 50 million gallons per day can be treated by the plant after the expansion and will soon put out early work packages. … New IBWC U.S. Commissioner Chad McIntosh told local officials and attendees at the forum that even after the expansion they would continue to press Mexico to halt the cross-boundary sewage and chemical flows into the Tijuana River which eventually flow into the Pacific Ocean near the South Bay community of Imperial Beach.
