Meanwhile - in San Diego
Is this the same California that doesn't want oil drilling so that the ocean environment can be protected?...
Mike Lee reports at SignOnSanDiego.com:
"The Point Loma plant treats sewage from 2.2 million people inside and outside city limits, and it discharges about 170 million gallons a day into the Pacific Ocean. San Diego is the only city in California that hasn't committed to meet the secondary treatment level for discharges to the ocean.
Sanders has worked for nearly two years to convince regulators that San Diego is fulfilling the terms of its current exemption and should be permitted to keep processing sewage without a major retrofit. San Diego received two earlier waivers — one in 1995 and the second in 2002."
