Improving Water Quality in the Tijuana River Valley Project #6: Construct New Infrastructure. to Address Trash and Sediment
Yogurt Overview Trash1 Sediment2 Canyon3 This project involves the construction of COST ESTIMATES infrastructure along the Tijuana River, $ 0.5M – $ 1M – Capital $ 3M Smuggler’s Gulch, and Yogurt Canyon to 4M 50M reduce sediment and trash deposition into $ 0.03M – $ 0.2M – Annual O&M4 $ 5K the Tijuana River Estuary. Trash booms and 6M 49M sediment basins adjacent to or within the $ 1M – $ 9M – main channel of the Tijuana River and 40-year lifecycle $ 3.5M 156M 1.7B Smuggler’s Gulch (U.S.- or Mexico-side) are being considered along with flood mitigation infrastructure in Yogurt Canyon.

LEGEND Does this project improve work 1 Trash: Installation of trash booms in the Tijuana River Main Channel conditions for government activities? and Smuggler’s Gulch 2 Expected improvements to U.S. Navy Sediment: Strategically placed sediment basins in the US and Mexico 3 Yogurt Canyon: Pilot channel in Yogurt canyon or modification to personnel training conditions and U.S. Border Monument Road Patrol activities are unquantifiable. 4 O&M: Operations and maintenance 5 Impacts are unquantifiable 6 Estimates of sewage reduction are based on the reduction of BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), a standard surrogate for sewage 7 Beach closure reduction estimates are based on Scripps Institution of Oceanography models NW Waves Project 6: Construct New Infrastructure to Address Trash and Sediment (Winter) Imperial Beach
