SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Back in 2010, voters in San Diego County
approved an idea to build a landfill in privately held land just north
of the border in Otay Mesa.

Almost 14 years later, the project is still undergoing environmental
impact reviews, and developers are also going through the permit
process.

“It will be a recycling hub for San Diego County,” said David Wick,
president and CEO of the developer, National Enterprises, Inc.

Wick said if constructed, his recycling and landfill property would be
390 acres with another 110 acres of open space around it.

14.5 billion gallons of raw sewage from Mexico entered US during storm
“Our three landfills in San Diego County, all have exceeded their
capacity, the only reason they’re still in operation today is that our
politicians have allowed them to increase their height so they are no
longer landfills but a mountain of trash, that’s the environmental
hazard that exists today,” he said. “Our recycling facility is the
solution.”

But the Sierra Club and others disagree with a need for a new facility
saying when voters approved the measure, they were misled into thinking
San Diego County was running out of landfill space.

“This is a bad project in the worst possible site,” said Lisa Ross,
chairperson for the Sierra Club in San Diego. “At the Sierra Club we are
big proponents of zero waste management and so is the county of San
Diego, so as we decrease our need for a landfill because of better
practices at home, that need (for landfills) is going to be even less
and less.”

Ross said that aside from not being needed, the proposed landfill will
devastate the environment in the Otay Mountain Wildlife Refuge.

“It impacts wildlife, it impacts air pollution, it impacts the watershed
and secondly, it’s not needed, the county has capacity all the way up to
2053,” said Ross. “It’s also going to affect the people who live on the
other side of the border.

But Wick argued that the landfill will be state of the art and lined
according to regulations to prevent seepage, and it will be built “well
above water tables and aquifers.”

“Our project is environmentally safe if permitted by the State of
California in full compliance with all their environmental regulations.”

company is still working on environmental impact reports for the
project. He said they hope to break ground at some point in 2025.
