Residents Invited to Share Tijuana River Crisis Stories & Sign Petition For Superfund Request
Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer is recruiting San Diego County residents who have been impacted by the Tijuana River crisis to sign on to her petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to request testing to determine if Superfund designation is warranted for the Tijuana River Valley.
Since last Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting when a majority of the Supervisors decided to delay the request, the Vice Chair of the Board of Supervisors has been mobilizing support for the petition. Residents who live across the region are encouraged to sign the petition and share their story about how they have been impacted, which will then be submitted to the EPA along with the formal request on September 24. To join the petition residents can visit the website: www.SupervisorTerraLawsonRemer.com.
