CALEXICO – Residents of Calexico and those in the vicinity of the infamously polluted New River subject to adverse health effects will finally see environmental justice enacted in a real and tangible way as state, city, and binational collaborators of the New River Improvement Project broke ground on Friday, May 26 in Calexico, a few hundred feet from the U.S.-Mexico border. The integral waterway, which begins in Baja California and winds its way north through Calexico towards the Salton Sea, is widely known to environmental advocates and officials as being one of the most severely polluted waterways in the United States.
