Wasn't it George H.W. Bush who tapped his chest at a presidential debate and told voters he'd be "the environmental president."
Well, he wasn't.
He introduced greenie nonsense like cap-and-trade, and extended environmental regulations under the Clean Air Act, not exactly inspiring, or even noticible, improvements.
Here's the real environmental president -- President Trump:

Trump has done more in six months than the worthless Californian Coastal Commission has done in 53 years
On tonight’s CBS evening news this will either be to Newscum’s credit, or it will be a bad thing, something like “sewage backup in Tijuana because of Trump’s pressure on Mexican city...”
This was the totally corrupt Biden and 0bama play in this scam:
What are the odds even ONE liberal ‘newspaper’ will cover this story?
Trump has done more in six months than the worthless Californian Coastal Commission has done in 53 years
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
will a lib black robe block this, too?
And, this is not a partisan issue. Previous presidents could have fixed this, one highly suspects.
President Donald Trump.
Good one!
Yet Again!
Once again Trump delivers on his promise to stop shit from Mexico flowing into America 😁

EPA announcement most promising news yet on local sewage nightmare
Thursday’s announcement by U.S. EPA chief Lee Zeldin that the Trump administration had reached a “100% permanent solution” to the Tijuana River Valley sewage ordeal in negotiations with Mexico is great news. For years, leaders in Washington, D.C., and Sacramento have treated closed beaches and health risks to residents, tourists, Navy SEALs and border agents in San Diego County as mostly a local issue. In so doing, former President Joe Biden and Gov. Gavin Newsom failed 3 million-plus San Diegans — and, in his first term, so did President Donald Trump.
Now, however, Zeldin has finally gotten the U.S. government to use the many ways it can bring pressure on Mexico to force concessions on funding and construction timelines for sewage improvements in the Tijuana area. Per a joint statement from Zeldin and Alicia Bárcena Ibarra, Mexico’s secretary of the environment and natural resources, infrastructure fixes on both sides of the border are supposed to be done by Dec. 31, 2027 — far earlier than previous assumptions.
Reflecting a point long made by the U-T Editorial Board — that all it took for quick improvements on the U.S. side of the border was decisive leadership — the EPA thinks it is realistic for the treatment capacity of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Ysidro to be increased from 25 million to 35 million gallons per day by late August — of this year.
Yes, of course, there are reasons to worry this all sounds too good to be true. The announcement comes against a backdrop of Trump conflicts with California over immigration enforcement, environmental rules and much more. It’s also striking that Zeldin’s plan comes at a time when the EPA seems less interested in problem-solving than at any time since its 1970 founding — including asserting that states should take over many federal environmental responsibilities.
So perhaps the Zeldin initiative will wither or be abandoned. But for now, it is clearly the most promising development yet in our long local nightmare.
We’re already paying them to not send us their sewage—and the price is only going up.
I live locally - and read and listen to a lot a lot of local So Cal news - haven’t heard a thing about this anywhere.
Also waiting for it to be twisted and Trump to be called a Racist so stopping the sewage flow - which never should have happened in the first place.
Why is this a “deal” and not an absolute one side demand that scumbag Mexico stop pouting their refried shit into otherwise clean beaches? What is scheinBAUM getting in return?
So that’s why I smell refried beans
Oh. I misunderstood the title. I assumed the article was referencing wetbacks invading kalifornia.
So representative of that country. We need to admit we are in a hot war with Mexico and act like it. How many A,Eric ans have been killed because the direct actions of Mexico? Drugs, criminals, gangs. All given marching orders to invade.
Thanks - better than nothing. Page 4 at the bottom? Still a pleasant surprise - almost 'hopeful'...

It's real.
There's currently five San Diego beaches under advisories to avoid water due to bacterial contamination and four that are closed altogether for contamination.
And, par for the course, the enviros have been silent.
The beaches in that area have been full of sewage since forever - I’ve never gone in the water on a San Diego beach - Los Angeles beaches are dicey as well and often receive grade of “F” - that’s enough to keep me out.
Husband always wanted to vacation in San Diego, I didn’t b/c of the toxic beaches - I always managed to steer him to the mountains instead.
