San Diego Sewage-Bruce Reznik says OK

San Diego Coastkeeper's Reznik says that Coastkeeper is "OK with the waiver moving forward" provided the city signs an agreement to move toward less discharges and eventual waiver elimination. But there is no guarantee that the city won't come back in 5 years, when it's even more difficult to properly treat the sewage, and renew the waiver, just as it's done for the past 22 years.
The only thing that ends the waiver is to agree to give it up. They would enter into a settlement agreement with the EPA, which would give them 5 years, 12 years, 10 years, or what ever it takes, to bring it up to standard. But they would have to actually do so, not just pontificate about it, as Reznik is doing here.
Talk is cheap, sewage treatment costs money, and the bottom line is that Coastkeeper went along with keeping the sewage waiver and agreeing not to treat the sewage even to the minimum secondary standard.
