Dane Crossby and Brandon Garay are long-time South Bay residents.<\/p>\n
Despite the possible exposure to up to 50-million gallons of toxic waste and sewage that flows through the Tijuana River into the Pacific Ocean every day, they love coming to the beach to catch some waves.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a risk that\u2019s possible. Fortunately, nothing has happened yet. We love the water so we\u2019re always out there regardless,\u201d surfer and long-time resident Brandon Garay said.<\/p>\n
Both said they wish something could be done to get the problem fixed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey keep coming up with they say solutions, but nothing\u2019s happened yet,\u201d Garay said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are our county supervisors doing?\u201d Dane Crossby said.<\/p>\n
On Monday, board chair supervisor Tara Lawson Remer and Supervisor Paloma Aguirre will unveil a new proposal hoping to change that.<\/p>\n
The idea is to design a treatment system on the U.S. side of the border that catches the raw sewage before it moves down stream in San Diego communities and beaches.<\/p>\n
It appears the construction of this type of infrastructure would happen in phases.<\/p>\n
While the details of the proposal are still up in the air, Board Chair Supervisor Tara Lawson Remer and Supervisor Paloma Aguirre will unveil some of the specifics at a press conference Monday.<\/p>\n
Some said hearing about it gives them hope.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is great! Anything that is positive is great news to us. We\u2019ll take any help,\u201d David Hernandez said.<\/p>\n
County Supervisors said they hope introducing this new initiative will protect the public health, environment, and local economy; and get the Tijuana River off the American rivers conservation group\u2019s most endangered list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dane Crossby and Brandon Garay are long-time South Bay residents.
