INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION, UNITED STATES AND MEXICO


United States Section; Notice of Availability of the Revised 
Record of Decision for the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement for International Boundary and Water Commission Clean Water 
Act Compliance at the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment 
Plant, San Diego County, CA

AGENCY: United States Section, International Boundary and Water 
Commission (USIBWC).

ACTION: Notice of availability of the Revised Record of Decision for 
the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 30, 2005, the USIBWC issued a Record of Decision 
(``ROD'') which selected Alternative 4, Treatment Option C, Discharge 
Option 1 (Operation of SBIWTP as Advance Primary Facility, Secondary 
Treatment in Mexico) as the means for achieving CWA compliance at the 
SBIWTP. Reevaluation of alternatives for achieving compliance was 
prompted by the inability to timely implement the selected alternative 
and by changes in financial considerations relevant to the decision of 
whether to provide secondary treatment in Mexico or in the United 
States. After reevaluation, the USIBWC has decided to upgrade the 
SBIWTP to secondary treatment in the United States (Secondary Treatment 
in the United States, Alternative 5, Option B-2, Activated Sludge with 
Expanded Capacity) to achieve compliance with the CWA and the NPDES 
permit. This Revised Record of Decision reflects the results of the 
revaluation and was prepared in compliance with 40 CFR 1505.2.

DATES: The Revised ROD for the Final SEIS was made available to 
agencies, organizations and the general public on May 15, 2008. A copy 
of the Revised ROD for the Final SEIS was posted on the USIBWC Web site 
at http://www.ibwc.gov/Files/ROD_sbiwtp_2008.pdf.
