		Sierra Blanca has a largely Mexican-American population, and the percentage of Spanish-speaking residents is high, as one might expect, along the entire length of the border.
		Sierra Blanca's own State Representative's yea vote went unreported in his district for a year and a half; it came to light only because Sierra Blanca grocer Bill Addington traveled to Maine, where a public referendum was held on waste disposal issues, to ask Mainers to vote against poisoning his home.
		Texas' and Vermont's arguments for the dump also rest on hydrological arguments, but while the region averages only a few inches of rainfall a year, rains are often "cataclysmic," in the words of one area resident, creating fissures that channel water deeply and unpredictably.

		That opposition was no match for the power of the utility industry, the Texas politicians who have sided with their industry friends, and other politicians happy to see radioactive waste go to Texas rather than to their own states.
		There is considerable concern that if the Texas dump is built, it will be opened to wastes generated outside the three states, especially since an existing dump for low-level wastes in Barnwell, South Carolina is in financial trouble and in danger of closing.
		Sierra Blanca is a small, predominately Hispanic (67%) community in West Texas.

		Sierra Blanca, the county seat of Hudspeth County, is at the intersection of Ranch Road 1111, Interstate Highway 10, and U.S. Highway 80, eighty miles southeast of El Paso in the south central part of the county.
		A distinctive feature of Sierra Blanca is the fact that half the town goes by Mountain Time, under which the rest of Hudspeth County and El Paso County were placed by congressional legislation in 1921, while the other half goes by Central Time, as does the rest of Texas.
		In 1964 a waitress in a Sierra Blanca cafe told a visiting newspaperman that one tavern was supposedly closed down for a week because it opened in the morning on Central Time and closed at night on Mountain Time.

	Comment Of The Day September 2, 1998
		Welcome to Sierra Blanca, Texas, home of New York City's treated sewage site (since 1992) and the largest sewage dump in the nation and, coming soon, the low-level (euphemistically) nuclear waste from the great states of Maine, Vermont, and beyond.
		Sierra Blanca was once a ranching and railroad center, but now, with three gas stations for passing motorists, two RV parks, two motels, a general store, and an old post office, it is a shadow, a parody, of its former self.
		Sierra Blanca was the exact spot where the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific Railroad's met in 1881.

	Texas and Pacific Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Texas and Pacific Railway Company (known as the TandP) was created by federal charter in 1871 with the purpose of building a southern transcontinental railroad between Marshall, Texas and San Diego, California.
		The Texas and Pacific was unable to finance construction to San Diego, California, and as a result the Southern Pacific was able to build from California to Sierra Blanca, Texas.
		This was considerably less than what was originally allocated, as the railway had failed to construct outside of Texas, for which it would have been entitled to a federal land grant, and the much of the state Texas land grant was not allocated due to failure to complete construction on time.

	Sierra Blanca Texas -- low level radioactive waste dump planned
		Sierra Blanca is another one of those big battles in the war against the nuclear destruction of this planet.
		The bill opens Texas to becoming the nation's next radioactive waste dump for commercial nuclear power plants by allowing not only Maine and Vermont, but ANY other state to dump their dismantled power plants in Texas.
		Wellstone, along with many House members and communities across Texas and Mexico, are outraged that an 8-member conference committee stripped the bill of an amendment agreed upon by both the House and Senate that would have limited the waste Texas will have to take to waste from only Maine and Vermont.

		The project, to be located in rural Sierra Blanca, 90 miles southeast of El Paso and 20 miles from the border, is intended to hold tons of low-level radioactive waste from across the state, 90 percent of which would come from Texas utilities, and waste from Maine and Vermont as well.
		Mexico has protested the dump, as have environmentalists and residents of Sierra Blanca, a mostly poor community.
