Project DescriDtion 9. Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command installation, is comprised of more than a million acres of land in Texas and New Mexico. The main military installation area of Fort Bliss is located adjacent to El Paso, Texas. Fort Bliss’ Biggs Army Airfield is located at Fort Bliss, adjacent to the El Paso International Airport. 10. Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Airfield are preparing for significant expansion of facilities and personnel. Currently, Fort Bliss is preparing for a temporary Brigade Combat Team which is expected to include approximately 3,800 troops this October. It is planned that, beginning next year, approximately 4,000 new troops will be arriving at Fort Bliss each year through 201 1. 11. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has informed EPE of its plans to build an electric substation for the Directorate of Public Works at Fort Bliss in support of personnel and facilities expansion at Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Airfield and has requested construction of transmission line facilities to provide service to the substation. EPE was informed in this letter that design and construction of the substation should be completed within 12 months. DOCKET NO. 32786 ORDER PAGE 3 OF 5 12. To provide the requested transmission service, EPE is proposing to tap an existing 115-kV transmission line and construct two parallel transmission circuits, approximately 1.4 miles in length, fiom the existing line to the proposed substation site. Both the substation and transmission line facilities will be located on Fort Bliss property in their entirety. 13. Fort Bliss is the only landowner whose property will be crossed by the proposed facilities and has given its prior written consent to the proposed project. 14. The nearest other landowner to the proposed facilities is El Paso International Airport, which is approximately 1.5 miles south of the proposed project, and the nearest habitable structure is a federal prison near the end of the Biggs Airfield runway approximately .8 miles to the east of the proposed substation location. 15. The proposed transmission project is needed in support of the expansion of military personnel and fkcilities at Fort Bliss. 16. The preparation and processing of a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) amendment application can often take more than a year. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers indicated in May 2006, that design and construction of the substation should be completed within 12 months. 17. The area crossed by the proposed project is solely certificated to EPE. 11. Conclusions of Law 1. EPE is an electric utility as defined by PURA' 0 31.002(6). 2. Notice of the application was adequate and provided in compliance with PURA and Commission rules. ' Public Utility Regulatory Act, TEX.UTIL.

The Commission may make exceptions to its rules pursuant to P.U.C. PROC. R. 22.5(b) and P.U.C. SVSST. R. 25.3(b). 5. Except for the hct that the proposed transmission facilities to the new Fort Bliss substation will be approximately 1.4 miles long instead of one mile long or less, EPE would be exempt under P.U.C. SUBST. R. 25.101(c)(5)(A) fi-om the requirement that it obtain a CCN amendment prior to construction of the proposed transmission facilities. 6. Based on the particular circumstances described by EPE, good cause exists to allow EPE to exceed the one-mile limitation in P.U.C. SVSST.R. 25.101 (c)(S)(A). 7. This application does not constitute a major rate proceeding as defined by P.U.C. PROC. R. 22.2. 8. The requirements for informal disposition pursuant to P.U.C. PROC.

  • Southern Border, USA Jan/Feb 2018
    Southern border, USA Jan/Feb 2018 With some spare vacation days left from last year and lots of sunshine in the weather forecast, I had a good reason to start 2018 with a last-minute spotting trip to the desert in the south western part of the United States. The goal of this trip was to combine the hunt for classic propliners with military hardware, which has been underrepresented on my previous trips. The area of operation would be near the Mexican border across four states: from El Paso, Texas, in the east via New Mexico and Arizona to El Centro, California, in the west. During this time of the year the temperatures are mild and the angle of the sun is low enough to prevent dark aircraft bellies on the photos. I found a great deal on Expedia (600 EUR for a return flight Amsterdam-Tucson including luggage & meals plus a one-night stay at a hotel) and made the booking about four days in advance. This gave me just enough time to prepare the journey. All aircraft that I logged on my previous trip are omitted, unless noted at a different airport. Moreover, all mm’s mentioned in this article apply to a 1.5x crop camera. For more detailed information about the visited airports near Phoenix and Tucson, please look at my trip report of November 2017. My solo trip began on a Saturday morning at Schiphol Airport with a two-hour delay, because the United Airlines B777 that was bringing me to Houston had a technical issue.

  • Texas Mountain Trail Region
    Guadalupe Mountains National Park reathtaking mountains and high-country hikes. Sheer river canyons and winding back roads. BB Exotic desert panoramas and star-studded nights. These sights and more delight visitors at every turn in the six Far West Texas counties of the Texas Mountain Trail Region. Stretched across two time zones, Central and Mountain, this far-flung region is a geological wonder. During the Permian period more than 250 million years ago, the land lay near the equator in the supercontinent of Pangea. Continental shifting and volcanic action eventually thrust the land upward; millennia of wind and water eroded it, sculpting majestic mountains and mesas. Dinosaurs roamed for millions of years when the land bordered a shallow sea. The Rio Grande gradually carved a deep notch in the mountains, creating a natural river crossing that Spanish explorers named El Paso del Norte. The river also created glorious canyons in today’s Big Bend National Park. Throughout the centuries, the climate grew hotter and the land drier. To survive, wildlife and prehistoric hunter-gatherers adapted to desert conditions. Later, diverse groups — Native Americans and Spanish missionaries, soldiers and miners, ranchers and railroaders –– passed this way in search of wealth, glory and new beginnings. A century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca traveled with the first European expedition here in the 1530s. He encountered agricultural communities and scattered nomadic tribes. Later Spanish expeditions introduced horses, cattle, sheep and wheeled vehicles to natives. The Land ★ ★ ★ ★ of Endless Vistas Enjoy nature’s solitude in the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park.
