The U.S. and Mexico are nearing completion of an agreement that would address the cross-border sewage crisis that has affected Southern California’s beaches for years. Authorities from the Environmental Protection Agency say the proposed deal, currently under final review, could be implemented as soon as this summer and would commit both nations to significant infrastructure improvements. … The statement (by Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin), made to X, formerly Twitter, said: “This week, EPA transmitted to Mexico a proposed ‘100% solution’ that would PERMANENTLY END the decades-old crisis of raw sewage flowing into the U.S. from Mexico. Next, technical groups from both nations will be meeting to work through the details necessary to hopefully reach an urgent agreement.”
