The Mayor of Imperial Beach was not pleased with the response she got from the EPA.
“So, March 14, I received this later from acting [EPA] regional administrator Cheree Peterson,” Mayor Paloma Aguirre said.
Her letter to new EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin had requested a reconsideration of a Superfund designation for the Tijuana River Valley amid the sewage crisis.
