Transboundary flow pollution: United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Summary

The Senate Joint Resolution SJR 13 asks the United States, during the 2026 USMCA joint review, to obtain measurable commitments from the US, Mexico and Canada to end chronic sewage and toxic discharges into the Tijuana River watershed and the New River. It calls for specific discharge‑reduction targets, funded wastewater projects, enforceable timelines and annual public reporting, and warns that failure could trigger automatic non‑renewal of the USMCA. The measure targets California border communities that suffer health, environmental and economic harms from the pollution.
