Members of San Diego’s congressional delegation are urging the U.S. Small Business Administration to continue supporting businesses hurt by ongoing Tijuana River pollution.<\/p>\n
Representatives Juan Vargas, Scott Peters, Sara Jacobs and Mike Levin sent a letter asking what assistance has already been provided and requesting continued help as South Bay communities face a fifth straight summer of beach closures. <\/p>\n
Lawmakers say untreated wastewater and debris flowing from the river have driven away tourists and hurt local businesses that depend on beach visitors. <\/p>\n
Congress has already secured more than 650-million-dollars to address the pollution and upgrade the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Members of San Diego’s congressional delegation are urging the U.S. Small Business Administration to continue supporting businesses hurt…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":362665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[4009,66938,23,100,74,76,75,11569],"class_list":["post-362664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-border","tag-kogo-news","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-wastewater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=362664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/362664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/362665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=362664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=362664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=362664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
