  • Service Area Profile
    SERVICE AREA PROFILE GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY AND CLIMATE The City of El Paso, the sociopolitical center of El Paso County and West Texas, has a distinct culture, climate and supply of resources that makes water consumption unique among similar municipalities in the desert southwest of the United States. El Paso is in the northern extreme of the Chihuahuan Desert, and lies on the frontier of three states, two countries and three diverse water supplies. The Upper Rio Grande Valley forms a natural crossing between the Chihuahuan Mountains to the south and the Franklin Mountains to the north. The region, consisting of El Paso, Texas; Ciudad Juárez, Mexico; and Las Cruces, New Mexico; is home to more than 2 million. The city’s name may be traced to the Spanish El Paso Del Norte, or the “pass of the north.” During the 16th century, conquistadors such as Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and Don Antonio de Espejo led an expedition through the area in the name of the Spanish crown, and were met with resistance by natives. Most explorers passed through, searching for the fabulously rich Seven Cities of Cibola and chasing legends of lost gold. In 1998, the city marked the quadricentennial celebration of those who stayed, marking the 400th anniversary of Don Juan de Oñate’s crossing of the Paso del Norte, forming the first permanent settlement in the area. That year, the El Paso settlers marked the first Thanksgiving in North America, about 23 years before the better-known feasts in Massachusetts in 1621. When the feasting ended, Oñate took possession of all lands watered by the Rio Grande.

  • Texas Five-Year Ambient Monitoring Network Assessment
    Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Texas Five-Year Ambient Monitoring Network Assessment 2015 Executive Summary The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) conducted an assessment of the Texas air monitoring network in fulfilment of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 58.10(d). The TCEQ evaluated the existing network of ambient air monitors measuring ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead (Pb), particulate matter of 10 micrometers or less in diameter (PM10), particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbonyls, semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and speciated PM2.5. Only monitors meeting some federal obligation, either through rule or grant commitment, were included in this evaluation. This evaluation is intended to determine if the current network continues to meet Texas’ needs and federal requirements. Any proposed changes to the monitoring network are provided to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the annual monitoring network plan and are, therefore, not included in this evaluation. A 30-day public comment period is provided for both this five year assessment and the annual monitoring network plan. The assessment of the Texas air monitoring network indicates that the existing network is adequate for evaluating ambient air quality and meets federal requirements. Monitors are located in areas of dense population and, when appropriate, in areas with the greatest impact(s) from point and
