Blog # 13

"In a striking change of direction, the California Coastal Commission yesterday voted 8-4 to give San Diego its third exemption from pollution standards set by federal Clean Water Act."

San Diego is getting its third exemption from standards that every other city in California has to meet, It will take $1.5 billion to retrofit the treatment plant to meet these standards.

There is no information on what happens to the wastewater after it gets into the ocean. There are no statistics or visual confirmations.

I would get facts about the size of the contaminated area (if it is even able to be tested) and also write about what the contract was that will make the city come back in two years for a check-up.
