The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) has discussed a settlement agreement signed this week following a four-year lawsuit over sewage and chemicals that were polluting local beaches.

The litigation was brought by cities near the border, regional and state agencies, and the Surfrider Foundation.

According to the IBWC, key elements of the settlement include adding a second berm in Mexico to catch any flow breached by the first berm and evaluating whether a berm is needed in the U.S.
