SAN DIEGO–The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health has issued a water contact closure for the ocean shoreline at Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge and Border Field State Park due to sewage-contaminated flows from the Tijuana River entering the United States.
The water contact closure area includes all beaches from the south end of Seacoast Drive to the International Border. Water contact closure signs will remain in place until ocean water sampling results meet State health standards for recreational use.
Access roads and trails within the Tijuana River valley may also be affected by sewage-impacted runoff and should be avoided if flooded.
