SB 1208 - Waste discharge permits: landfills. (Padilla) | Cal Parks

Our Position

Support

Status

Held in Second House

This bill adds additional prohibitions against solid waste disposal permits for landfills in The Tijuana River watershed.

Position Statement

Water quality at our state beaches is of great concern, particularly for beaches in the San Diego area. Pollution coming into the Tijuana River watershed from Mexico has caused some beaches in the area to be closed up to 200 days a year.
