Summary

Tijuana River Valley Estuary and Beach Sewage Cleanup Act of 1999 - Authorizes the U.S. section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico, subject to the negotiation and conclusion of a new Treaty Minute pursuant to the Treaty for the Utilization of Waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande or the amendment of Treaty Minute 283, to provide for the secondary treatment of effluent from the Advanced Primary Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTP) in Mexico. Permits the Commission to enter into a fee-for-services contract with the owner of the Mexican Facility (proposed wastewater treatment facility to be constructed within Mexico for treating sewage flows generated within Mexico, which flows impact U.S. and Mexican surface waters, health, and safety) to provide for: (1) secondary treatment of effluent from the IWTP if such treatment is not provided for at a U.S. facility; and (2) primary and secondary treatment of up to 50 million gallons per day of additional sewage from the Tijuana area to ensure that untreated sewage will not flow into the United States through the Tijuana River. Sets forth contract requirements. Requests the Secretary of State to give the highest priority to the negotiation and execution of a new Treaty Minute or a modification of Treaty Minute 283 in order that the other provisions of this Act to address river and ocean pollution in the San Diego U.S.-Mexico border region may be implemented as soon as possible. Requests the Secretary to initiate such negotiations with Mexico. Requires the new or modified Treaty Minute to be subject to the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Authorizes appropriations.
