RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA EXPRESSING ITS OPPOSITION TO THE
FEDERAL REQUIREMENT THAT SAN DIEGO IMPLEMENT
SECONDARY SEWER TREATMENT
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the Federal Government currently has a
requirement that would force San Diego to implement secondary
sewer treatment, and
WHEREAS, distinguished scientists have criticized this
Federal requirement as unnecessary to protect the environment in
the ocean off San Diego, and
WHEREAS, the implementation of secondary sewer treatment
would result in prohibitive rate increases for members of the
Metro Sewer System, and
WHEREAS, reasonable alternatives appear to be available
that meet not only the scientific concerns, but also increase
"~ter availability for the San Diego region, and
WHEREAS, one alternative would provide for the
completion of the Point Loma Advance Primary Treatment Plant to
240,000,000 gallons daily as originally proposed, the extension
of the outfall is necessary to meet scientific and ecological
needs, and the reclamation of the remaining 120,000,000 gallons
daily in a satellite reclamation plant if economically feasible,
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby express its opposition to the
Federal requirement which would force San Diego to implement
secondary sewer treatment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
Chula Vista does support an amendment to Federal law that would
recognize differences between outfalls in a river as opposed to
outfalls in an ocean.
