Document Description
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and International Boundary and Water Commission, U.S. Section (USIBWC), have prepared a Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Final PEIS) for the proposed United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) Mitigation of Contaminated Transboundary Flows Project (the Proposed Action). The Proposed Action involves the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure to reduce transboundary flows from Tijuana that routinely convey pollutants, sewage, and/or trash into the U.S. EPA and USIBWC have evaluated the Proposed Action, including alternatives, located in the Tijuana River area in southern San Diego County, California in the U.S. and in the Tijuana region in Mexico. EPA and USIBWC have identified in the Final PEIS a No-Action Alternative and two alternatives for implementing the Proposed Action: Alternative 1 (Core Projects) and Alternative 2 (Core and Supplemental Projects). Alternative 2 is the preferred alternative. The Proposed Action is expected to have beneficial impacts to public safety and water quality in the Tijuana River watershed and adjacent coastal areas. The Proposed Action covers a large geographic area and would impact a broad range of resource areas.
