ADEQ Director Karen Peters took a trip to the border city of Nogales, #AZ π΅ During her visit, she met with officials from the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission and local partners, including #Nogales Mayor Jorge Maldonado. Director Peters also took a moment to explore the Nogales Wash, which collects flows from the Mexican city of Nogales, Sonora due to the natural conditions of the watershed. As an agency committed to environmental protection, Director Peters listened to the concerns raised and reiterated ADEQ's commitment to continued communication and collaboration with authorities from both sides of the border. We're excited to see how these partnerships will continue to create solutions for #AZ! #ADEQ #environmentalprotection #collaboration
