    FA R W EST T EXA S REGIONAL WATER PLAN January 2001 EL PASO HUDSPETH CULBERSON JEFF DAVIS TERRELL PRESIDIO BREWSTER Far West Texas Regional Water Plan PREFACE Water is vital to our very existence, for without it, society ceases to function and civil society ceases to exist. The realization of the importance of water is of particular concern in times of diminished supply. Because of problems caused by drought and a rapidly growing population, the State Legislature has sought for many years to insure that there will always be a safe and sufficient supply of water to meet future needs in Texas. At the direction of the Legislature, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has developed a number of statewide water plans. None of these plans, however, have been properly utilized due primarily to the lack of local participation. Because of severe drought conditions in 1995 and 1996 several communities around the state experienced dangerously low water supplies, and the agricultural industry suffered extreme economic losses. Legislators became keenly aware that the state was unprepared for severe drought conditions. Texas was one of only three western states without a drought plan. With a population projected to double in the next 50 years and the possibility of insufficient water supplies to meet the growing demand, State Legislators took a bold move during the 75th Regular Legislative Session by enacting Senate Bill 1. Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the comprehensive water resource planning, management, and development bill, has been described as the most comprehensive revision of Texas water law in the last 30 years.

JULY 2020 Point of Contact Mr. Joseph Zidron U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol and Air and Marine Program Management Office 24000 Avila Road, Suite 5020 Laguna Niguel, CA 92677 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR A NEW CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY U.S. BORDER PATROL, EL PASO SECTOR, TEXAS U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY WASHINGTON, D.C. INTRODUCTION: United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) that addresses the potential effects, beneficial and adverse, resulting from the proposed construction and operation of a new U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Central Processing Center (CPC) in the USBP El Paso Sector, El Paso, Texas. The proposed new CPC would be a permanent processing facility constructed to accommodate 965 detainees and a staff of 200 for the processing and temporary holding of migrants who have crossed into the U.S. The facility would be located on an undeveloped parcel of land in northeast El Paso, Texas. Currently, the USBP El Paso Sector does not have the processing space to hold and process the influx of migrants that enter the U.S. on a daily basis. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed CPC would be to provide an immediate processing solution for incoming migrants. CBP uses the National Standards for the Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search (TEDS), which govern CBP’s interaction with migrants.
