The Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District will hold a hearing and regular meeting Wednesday, April 22, where officials are set to discuss a request for a waiver and settlement tied to construction of the border wall and a local groundwater well.
According to the amended agenda, the meeting begins at 4 p.m. at the district’s office, 1300 W. Broadway St., with a virtual attendance option available via Zoom.
During the regular meeting portion, board members are scheduled to take up an item described as a “request for waiver and settlement related to construction of the border wall and PGF #3 – Ropp, LLC’s HUPP 31 A, Well S2.” The agenda does not provide additional detail on the nature of the request or its potential impact.
The board will also consider proposed updates to rules affecting the Wildhorse, Lobo and Michigan Flat aquifers, review quarterly water level readings, and receive the general manager’s report.
The meeting includes multiple opportunities for public comment, including during the initial hearing on rule changes and again later in the regular session.
Other agenda items include approval of prior meeting minutes, payment of bills, and discussion of future agenda items and scheduling for the May meeting.
An executive session is also listed, with the board expected to reconvene in open session afterward.
