Border Sewage Update
On December 18, 2007, Congress passed a spending bill to aside up to $66 million to improve treatment of sewage from the Tijuana River. However, the spending bill did not specify how this would be done. Congress instead required the IBWC to study the 2 best options and continue to negotiate with Bajagua LLC while it evaluates whether the Bajagua project or the an upgrade of the ITWP will be the best option. The IBWC must report back to Congress after analyzing the two plans.

Coronado City Monitor Report
From Barbara Denny:
I attended the Coronado City Council meeting on Tuesday, December 18th at 3 pm at Coronado City Hall located at 1825 Strand Way.
There was a second public reading for the adoption of an ordinance amending the city municipal code Title 61 (Storm Water Runoff System Management and Discharge Control) including Chapter 61.04 (Storm Water Sewer System), Chapter 61.08 (Discharge Regulations and Requirements), Chapter 61.10 (Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan), and Chapter 61.12 (Inspection and Enforcement), to comply with the requirements of the Regional Water Control Board (RWQCB) order number R9-2007-0001, issued January 24, 2007. As this matter brought Coronado into compliance with the RWQCB order, there was no public discussion.
The Coronado City Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of every month at 3 pm in Council Chambers at the south end of City Hall located at 1825 Strand Way, Coronado, CA 92118.

Save Trestles Update
The Susan Davis amendment made it past the rockiest part of conference committee and is on its way to a full vote by both the House and Senate; and to eventually be signed by President Bush. The House is voting today and the Senate to follow. We firmly believe it will be passed and signed. Once it is officially passed, we will capitalize on the victory!!

SD City Council Votes to Pursue Pt. Loma Waiver
On Tuesday, November 20, the San Diego City Council agreed by a 7-1
vote to apply for a waiver that would permit the city to continue
dumping sewage into the Pacific Ocean at a level that doesn't meet
federal standards. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant releases 170
million gallons of the region's treated sewage into the Pacific Ocean
each day. But it doesn't filter out a federally required amount of
waste before piping it 4.5 miles offshore.
