[edit] Summary

Description

From Mexicali to the Salton Sea, Communities Are at Risk

Surface water in the New River is contaminated with metals, pesticides, VOC's, and bacteria. Pathogenic viruses have also been reported in the New River.

Human exposure to contaminants in the surface water occurred in the past and could occur in the present and in the future.

The New River flows near several communities in Imperial County as it traverses the 60 miles between the International Boundary and the Salton Sea. Residential areas are located near the river.
