SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action
The United States Section,
International Boundary and Water
Commission (USIBWC) has prepared the
Record of Decision on the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for Clean Water Act
Compliance at the South Bay
International Wastewater Treatment
Plant (Final SEIS). The South Bay
International Wastewater Treatment
Plant (SBIWTP) is an existing
international wastewater treatment
plant located in San Diego County at the
United States-Mexico border. The
SBIWTP and its associated facilities
capture and treat to the advanced
primary level an average of 25 million
gallons per day (mgd) of raw sewage
originating from the Tijuana region of
Mexico and discharge the treated
effluent approximately 3.5 miles
offshore into the Pacific Ocean through
the South Bay Ocean Outfall (SBOO).
The SBIWTP and its system of canyon
collectors prevent millions of gallons of
dry weather flows of raw sewage from
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
69987
flowing daily into the United States
from Mexico and polluting the Tijuana
River, the Tijuana River Valley and
Estuary, and south San Diego beaches.
The Final SEIS analyzed existing and
new alternatives that would enable the
USIBWC to bring the SBIWTP into
compliance with the Clean Water Act
(CWA) and with the SBIWTP’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit either by providing
secondary treatment at the SBIWTP; or
by having another entity, either private
or public, provide secondary treatment
of the SBIWTP’s effluent in Mexico; or
by achieving CWA compliance by some
other means. The Final SEIS also
evaluated new information on the
current discharges of advanced primary
effluent from the SBIWTP through the
SBOO, as well as potential interim
actions that would allow continued
operations of the SBIWTP until the
SBIWTP achieves CWA compliance.
The Record of Decision was prepared in
compliance with 40 CFR 1505.2 to
document the USIBWC’s decision on
the project. The decision is based on the
Final SEIS development process (40
CFR part 1502) and public involvement
(40 CFR part 1500).
On July 22, 2005, USIBWC made the
Final SEIS available for public review
and comment. A Notice of Availability
of the Final SEIS was published in the
Federal Register by the USIBWC on July
22, 2005 (70 FR 42379), and by the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) on July 29, 2005 (70 FR
43867). USIBWC invited written
comments on the Final SEIS to be
submitted on or before August 24, 2005.
USIBWC received one comment letter
on the Final SEIS. The comments on the
Draft and Final SEIS along with
USIBWC responses are discussed in
Sections VI and VII of the Record of
Decision, respectively.
