Long Term Treatment Options
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement

The IWTP's advanced primary treatment facilities became operational in April of 1997. The IWTP is currently discharging its treated effluent to the City of San Diego's Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, until the South Bay Ocean Outfall is completed in September of 1998. Once online, the IWTP will treat and discharge 25 million gallons per day.

The EPA and the IBWC are currently considering long-term treatment options for the IWTP, as part of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). The public comment period for the Draft SEIS began on January 23, 1998, and will continue through March 9, 1998. The public is encouraged to comment on the proposed options. The Fact Sheet (in English and Spanish) and Executive Summary for the Draft SEIS is available for online viewing. The entire Draft SEIS text is also available for download in Portable Document Format files.
