DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff ap- proved the alternative levee plan, meaning that most of Meet the Commissioners’ Court Hidalgo County (perhaps with the exception of Los Eba- nos) will be without a border fence. Instead of a border fence, the feds will fi x portions of the river levee. This plan will not infringe on the rights of private property owners and will be less environmentally invasive than the fence. (As far as Los Ebanos goes, the county is a member of the Texas Border Coalition and has voted to join a fed- eral lawsuit with property owners to restrict government access to private property. The county opposes fencing.) The best part of the whole deal is that local taxpayers will not have to foot the bill for a federal responsibility.

  • ESP for the Proposed Border Wall Project, RGV, Mcallen, Weslaco
    COVER SHEET ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED BORDER WALL PROJECT U.S. BORDER PATROL RIO GRANDE VALLEY SECTOR, MCALLEN AND WESLACO STATIONS, TEXAS Responsible Agencies: Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Border Patrol (USBP). Parties Consulted: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-Galveston District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), and the U.S. Section, International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC). Affected Location: United States/Mexico International Border in Hidalgo County, Texas. Project Description: U.S. CBP proposes to construct approximately 11.45 miles of levee wall system in the USBP Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector Area of Responsibility (AOR) near McAllen and Weslaco, Texas. The new wall will be composed of a reinforced concrete levee wall system to the approximate height of the existing levee. An 18-foot-tall steel wall consisting of bollards will be installed on the top of the levee wall system. In addition to the levee wall and bollards, CBP will also include a 150-foot enforcement zone on the southern/river side of the levee wall system. The enforcement zone will be free of vegetation with the exception of short, mowed, and maintained grasses. The enforcement zone will also include the use of detection and surveillance technology incorporated into the levee wall system.
