The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mexico in Mexico City on Thursday to resolve the Tijuana River sewage crisis, a decades-old danger to human health and the environment impacting Southern California.
EPA Administrator Zeldin has made tackling the Tijuana River sewage crisis a priority, noting that waste from Mexico has contaminated the San Diego area for decades. Zeldin told reporters Thursday that the new MOU will bring about a “100% solution” to the situation through a three-pronged strategy that includes investment from Mexico, expedited infrastructure projects and a new resources agreement.
“We didn’t want to come here at the end, and we don’t want to leave at the end. We wanted to come here, sign this agreement, and report back the great news to all the millions of concerned residents in Southern California — the Trump administration is promptly delivering,” Zeldin said. “This isn’t just an agreement for 2025 — this is an agreement that was the product of a conversation about where do we need to be in 2030, 2035, and beyond.”
