I don’t have much information regarding the teleconference tomorrow. The only thing I was told was
that it is mean to address possible issues with PF-225/VF-300. (b) put this document together
(reference the El Paso Sector) outlining some unresolved questions.
(6) Hopefully it will help everyone
follow along. I am not sure who this should go to so that it can be referred during the teleconference.

Thanks,

PF-225 Phase I
PRO. SEC. CONG. MILEAG
CODE CODE STATION DIST. E DESCRIPTION
I-1A EPT-DNM- DNM 2nd 2.56 DNM 1.5mi E to 3mi E of
2 POE
 Condemnation of one mile of Columbus Cattle Company property within
project area.
 Spacing issues with the existing PVB from Monument 21 to 1.5-miles east. The
PVB gets as close as 8” to the International Boundary. This involves possible
contract issues due to changes. Could cause problems with IBWC with regards
to ½ mile of this fencing being too close.
PRO. SEC. CONG. MILEAG
CODE CODE STATION DIST. E DESCRIPTION
J-1 EPT-STN-1 STN 2nd 1.15 STN 1mi W of POE

 Approval of approximately 1900 feet of fencing within the POE area. Has this
section of fencing been approved?
 According to USACE and Tetra Tech this mileage changed to a little less than 1
mile.

J-1 EPT-STN-2 STN 2nd 1.15 STN 1mi E of POE
 Approval of approximately 1900 feet of fencing within the POE area. Has this
section of fencing been approved?
 The mileage should be 1.0 instead of 1.15 on the east section.
 The 1900 feet of existing chain link fencing to be replaced is between the
entrance lanes at the POE and the export lane west of the POE.

J-3 EPT-STN-3 STN 2nd 1.08 STN Blackie's Gate to W
end Sunland
 There was a gap at the west end of the existing fence in Sunland Park, New
Mexico and the Monument 3 Mesa which allowed vehicles to drive through.
Several years ago Santa Teresa station erected several feet of vehicle barrier at
that point to prevent drive throughs. Will the vehicle barrier be removed so that
J-3 can be connected directly to the existing pedestrian fence at that location?

PRO. SEC. CONG. MILEAG
CODE CODE STATION DIST. E DESCRIPTION
J-2 EPT-STN-4 STN 2nd 3.49 west side of Blackies gate
to west side of cattlepens
 What are the exact start/stop points of this project?
 There are existing archeological sites located in the Roosevelt Reservation at
the east and west ends of this project. They will need to be monitored during
construction. Per USACE these sites will restrict the contractor to working
within 30 feet of the border instead of sixty feet at these locations.
 Per the plan, the exiting border fence will be left in place. The new fence and
border road is located further south. This will trap agents between the two
fences when they are traveling or working traffic on the new fence and will
become an officer safety issue.

 Still seeking an agreed on alignment with the El Paso County Water District
 Need to immediately seek an MOU with District to keep things moving
 If fence IS constructed north of the drainage ditch it will likely change access
points and require additional ROEs.

 Suggest we insist on survey prior to this project going to bid. We will need to
know exactly what alignment issues we’ll be facing A.S.A.P. There are
numerous miles of existing PVB that won’t handle a retrofit and need to be
replaced. No access road issues.

2121 LOB 6 PVR Zone 4
 Once the LOB EA is complete this summer, there should not be any other issues
for this project.

1450 DNM 13 PVR Zone 4

 There may be access issues on the western end of this project. The access road
is in complete disrepair and turnarounds will probably be needed for
construction equipment.

2102 DNM 5.75 PVR Zone 4

 No major issues. This project is currently underway by NG troops and we have
1 access route currently available. Project will be professionally surveyed to
guarantee that the NG is working where the supposed to be.

1213 STN 12 PVR Zone 4

 No concerns.

1218 STN 18 PVR Zone 4

 No concerns.

1706 STN 9.9 PVR Zone 4

 There are 2.2 miles of existing post and rail vehicle barrier that are not
scheduled to be replaced. This section had been breached in the past and will
become a weak link once the Normandy style fencing is erected at either end.
Are there any plans to reinforce or replace this existing post and rail once VF-
300 is complete?
 Will the Normandy vehicle fencing be connected directly to the existing post
and rail vehicle fencing?
 PF-225 pedestrian fencing ends 1.1 miles west of the Santa Teresa Port of Entry
and VF-300 begins at this point and proceeds west. Will VF-300 be connected
directly to PF-225?
1319 YST 0.03 Jersey Fence POE
 This project is moving forward. We have identified the access route and staging
area owners and the proper permits/ROE’s are being obtained. We will procure
the Jersey barrier soon.
