Dr. David Sodeman, chief of monitoring and technical services for the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District, will give a presentation on the district installing AQMesh sensors near the Tijuana River Valley and in the surrounding community after hearing concerns from nearby residents regarding odor from sewage spills in the Tijuana River.
The data collected from these sensors will be shared with the public and other agencies as another tool to address ongoing issues within the Tijuana River Valley.
Morgan Rogers of the commission will present an update regarding activities in the San Diego region, including information on the status of the San Diego Wastewater Treatment Plant, impacts of Tropical Storm Hilary, transboundary flows and San Diego–Tijuana wastewater infrastructure improvement projects.
The meeting comes at a time when local beaches have increasingly been impacted and subject to advisories or closures, often due to sewage flows from the south.
