Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Implementation of Energy,
Water, and Solid Waste Sustainability
Initiatives at Fort Bliss, Texas and New
Mexico
Department of the Army, DoD.
Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of the Army
proposes to implement Net Zero energy,
water and waste initiatives by 2020 at
Fort Bliss to meet mandates for
renewable energy production and
greenhouse gas emissions reductions. In
doing so, the Army will increase Fort
Bliss’ energy and water security,
supporting the military mission into the
future. Fort Bliss would not lose any
training capability as a result of Net
Zero project implementation. The
Proposed Action consists of multiple,
related, and interconnected projects to
achieve Net Zero goals, comply with
federal and Army energy mandates, and
meet the Army’s energy and water
security objectives.
The Army’s proposed energy, water,
and waste initiatives that could
reasonably be expected to move forward
in the next three to eight years consist
of implementation of conservation
policies and procedures (Alternative 2);
construction of a water reclamation
pipeline (Alternative 3); construction
and operation of a waste-to-energy plant
(Alternative 4); construction and
operation of a geothermal energy facility
(Alternative 5); and, construction of drycooled concentrating solar power
technology (Alternative 6). Alternative 7
proposes implementation of other
renewable energy technologies and
projects that are compatible with
installation planning criteria and
address potential future renewable
energy, water, and waste technology
actions at a programmatic level. If
implemented, Alternative 7 actions may

require further National Environmental
Policy Act analysis. The Proposed
Action initiatives (Alternatives 2
through 7) would work to enhance the
overall sustainability and security of
Fort Bliss.
DATES: The public comment period will
end 45 days after publication of the
notice of availability in the Federal
Register by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be addressed to Dr. John Kipp, Fort Bliss

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army
examined the potential environmental
impacts from implementing multiple,
related, and interconnected proposed
projects that could be taken to
implement Net Zero energy, water, and
waste initiatives, comply with federal
and Army energy mandates, and meet
the Army’s energy and water security
objectives. Not all projects discussed in
the Draft EIS would be implemented to
the full extent discussed in the
document. Technological
advancements, legislative changes, and
other factors may result in revisions to
the proposed projects discussed in the
alternatives section.
The proposed projects consist of six
action alternatives (Proposed Action,
Alternatives 2 through 7). The Draft EIS
also analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of the No Action
Alternative (Alternative 1) and the
cumulative impacts of the Proposed
Action in combination with other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
future actions.
Potentially significant impacts
discussed for the Proposed Action
include possible effects to air quality,
vegetation, archeological sites, soils,
land use, and traffic. Of these, all but
land use (as a result of converting
training land to developed land) are
anticipated to be mitigable to less than
significant. Air quality also has
potentially beneficial impacts discussed
for the Proposed Action, as does energy
demand and generation,
socioeconomics, water supply sources,
water demand, and wastewater reuse.
To determine the extent of impacts to

biological and cultural resources, the
Army is consulting with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, Texas and New
Mexico State Historic Preservation
Offices, Tribes, and other consulting
parties.
Cooperating Agencies: The US Air
Force (Holloman Air Force Base [AFB])
is a cooperating agency on the Draft EIS.
Some of the proposed projects
considered in the alternatives evaluated
could affect Holloman AFB units that
use Fort Bliss ranges and airspace for
training operations.
Public Meetings and Public
Comments: Public meetings on the Draft
EIS will be held in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.
Notifications of the times and locations
for the public meetings will be
published in local newspapers and the
environmental link on the Fort Bliss
Web site https://www.bliss.army.mil/

Native Americans, federal, state, and
local agencies, organizations, and the
public are invited to be involved in the
process for the preparation of this EIS
by participating in public meetings and/
or submitting written comments on the
Draft EIS to the above address by the
end of the 45-day public comment
period.

the disclosure of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy. For this
reason, the executive session of this
meeting will be closed to the public.
The open session of the meeting
will be held on June 3, 2013, from 8:30
a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The closed session of
this meeting will be the executive
session held from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00

This
notice of meeting is provided per the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The executive
session of the meeting from 11:00 a.m.
to 12:00 p.m. on June 3, 2013, will
consist of discussions of new and
pending administrative/minor
disciplinary infractions and non-judicial
punishments involving the Midshipmen
attending the Naval Academy to include
but not limited to individual honor/
conduct violations within the Brigade,
and personnel issues. The discussion of
such information cannot be adequately
segregated from other topics, which
precludes opening the executive session
of this meeting to the public.
Accordingly, the Under Secretary of the
Navy has determined in writing that the
meeting shall be partially closed to the
public because the discussions during
the executive session from 11:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. will be concerned with
matters coming under sections 552b(c)
(5), (6), and (7) of title 5, United States
