M-X Environmental Technical Report. Alternative Potential Deployment Areas: Texas/New Mexico.

Abstract

This study area is being considered as an alternative site for the deployment for the M-X system. Located in western Texas and eastern New Mexico, the region is generally known as the Southern High Plains. Farming and ranching are important economic activities. Several high production oil and gas fields are also located within the study area. The designated Texas/New Mexico region of influence (ROI) includes the Texas counties of Bailey, Castro, Cochran, Dallam, Deaf Smith, Hale Hartley, Hockley, Lamb, Lubbock, Moore, Oldham, Parmer, Potter, Randall, Sherman, and Swisher, and the New Mexico counties of Chaves, Curry, De Baca, Harding, Quay, Roosevelt, and Union. Attributes which cannot be logically evaluated at the county level (e.g., air quality) are explicitly defined when baseline data are presented. Potential base sites are located in the vicinity of Clovis, New Mexico and Dalhart, Texas. (Author)
