The County of San Diego is taking its fight over the festering Tijuana River sewage crisis to Washington, after hiring a DC-based law firm to press the feds for help — hoping to finally tackle the stench and pollution that has kept South Bay beaches shuttered for years. County leaders have inked a contract, worth up to $637,200 over five years, with Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) to lobby officials for help in addressing the cross-border pollution, according to county records reviewed by the San Diego Union-Tribune. 4 The Tijuana River flows after an overnight rain leaves debris collected in a trash boom on Imperial Beach, California.
