Land's End Observatory

Land's End Observatory is a ranger observatory on the rim of Grand Mesa in Colorado. It is accessible from the Grand Mesa Scenic and Historic Byway via Land's End Road, which is about half paved and half gravel. The observatory is about 10 miles west of Colorado State Highway 65. Land's End Road descends as an all-gravel road from the observatory down to U.S. Route 50, and the observatory can be accessed from that direction as well. The observatory was built by the United States Forest Service and the Works Progress Administration in 1936-37, with some assistance from two Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) side camps. A large viewing area outside the building provides a panoramic view of western Colorado and eastern Utah. As of 2022, the observatory building itself is closed and boarded up. From the U. S. Forest Service sign outside the building: You have reached Land's End Observatory on Colorado's highest mesa, the Grand Mesa, 10,500 feet above sea level. Built in 1936-37 by the United States Forest Service and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the observatory reflects the rustic style of architecture found in public buildings throughout the national parks and forests. It is marked by simplicity and craftsmanship, appearing to grow out of the earth rather than intrude upon it. Basalt stones were selected from the mesa and carefully fitted together to form the walls and terrace. Wood shingles were hand- sawn. The original, handcrafted woodwork can still be found inside. Most of the WPA workers who toiled here during the Great Depression are unknown, the observatory remains their legacy. Land's End Road was once known as the Veterans' Road. When the Great Depression left many World War I veterans unemployed, President Roosevelt responded by opening the already created Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to include them. Thus, between June 1933 and May 1934, the 200 veterans who were brought to Land's End camp completed 9.2 miles of road. They were paid a dollar a day for their work. Ranging in age from thirty-three to fifty-five, the veterans were hailed as "a remarkable group of men, skilled in almost every imaginable trade." They lived in army tents roughly eleven miles below the mesa rim while clearing the brush for the road. The toughest part of the Land's Ends Road, from the Wild Road Picnic Area to the rim, was completed over the next two summers by Civil Service machine operators and a few civilian workers hired by the United States Forest Service. "Built the whole road," said the project engineer, "blasting and all, without injuries."

Университет Реджиса

Университет Реджиса (англ. Regis University) — частный иезуитский университет в Денвере, штат Колорадо, США. Основан в 1877 году. Университет предлагает более 120 степеней в трех колледжах по различным предметам, включая образование, гуманитарные науки, бизнес, сестринское дело и технологии. Является одним из 28 учреждений-членов Ассоциации иезуитских колледжей и университетов США. История В 1877 году группа изгнанных итальянских иезуитов основала небольшой колледж в Лас-Вегасе, штат Нью-Мексико. Иезуиты назвали это учебное заведение колледжем Лас-Вегаса, который в конечном счете стал известен как университет Реджиса. В 1884 году епископ Денвера пригласил иезуитов создать колледж в Моррисоне, штат Колорадо, где был открыт колледж Святого Сердца. В 1887 году колледж Лас-Вегаса и колледж Святого Сердца объединились и переехали на нынешнее место расположения университета Реджиса. На момент слияния школа называлась Колледж Святого Сердца. Позже, в 1921 году, он получил название колледжа Реджиса в честь святого Иоанна Франциска Реджиса, иезуита 17-го века, который работал с проститутками и бедняками в горах на юге Франции. В 1991 году колледж Реджиса был переименован в Университет Реджиса. Нынешним президентом университета является Сальвадор Асевес, первый человек, не являющийся священнослужителем, занявший эту должность.

Greater Sandhill Solar Plant

The Greater Sandhill Solar Plant is a 19 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station in the San Luis Valley, located near the town of Mosca, Colorado. It was the largest solar facility in the state when it came online at the end of 2010. The electricity is being sold to Public Service of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, under a long-term power purchase agreement. Facility details The facility occupies about 200 acres of a 320 acre plot of water-constrained former agricultural land, and is sited adjacent to the Alamosa photovoltaic power plant which was completed two years earlier. It was developed and built by SunPower using the company's most-advanced high-efficiency technology. It contains about 50,000 modules which are mounted onto T-20 trackers. This tracker design was newly released in 2010, and was marketed as enabling the highest production. The plant is owned by Metlife and John Hancock Financial Services, which also partnered to finance the construction. Buesing Corp of Phoenix AZ was contracted to set the 16,800 helical screw pile foundations. The facility was completed in nine months, and was at full production by the end of December 2010. The start of commercial operations was announced in March 2011.

Bison Solar Plant

The Bison Solar Plant, also known as the Rawhide Flats Solar Plant, is a 30 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station in Larimer County, Colorado located about 10 miles (16 km) north of the town of Wellington. The plant is notable for being one of the first in the U.S. built to a 1500 Volt system specification. The electricity is being sold to the Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) under a 25-year power purchase agreement. Facility details The plant occupies about 190 acres (77 ha) distributed adjacent to PRPA's natural gas and coal-fired Rawhide Energy Station. It uses 117,120 polycrystalline silicon panels (Model SN-72cell: rated ~310 Wp, ~16% efficiency, 1500 Vdc isolation) that the manufacturer, S-Energy, claims are less susceptible to potential-induced degradation. The panels are mounted in rows onto single-axis trackers. The rows are organized into 12 blocks, and the electricity produced from each block is connected to the electric grid through a Samurai Series 1500 Vdc, 2700 kW / 2700 kVA inverter built by TMEIC. The boost in system voltage from the previous 1.0 kV standard to 1.5 kV enables the inverter to operate at higher efficiency and reliability, and is expected to reduce overall balance of system costs over the lifetime of the facility. The project was developed, constructed, and continues to be operated by Boulder-based juwi Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of the German renewable energy company juwi AG. Construction began in February 2016, and commercial operation began in October 2016. The project was financed and is owned by PSEG Solar Source, a subsidiary of New Jersey's Public Service Enterprise Group. The completed facility cost about US$54 million. On February 14, 2019 PRPA announced that it entered an agreement to add another 20 MW of solar photovoltaic generating capacity at the site, anticipated to be online in early 2020. The addition will include 2 MW of lithium-ion battery storage.

Hooper Solar PV Power Plant

The Hooper Solar PV Power Plant is a 50 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station in the San Luis Valley, located near the town of Mosca, Colorado. It was the largest solar facility in the state when it came online at the end of 2015. The electricity is being sold to Public Service of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, under a long-term power purchase agreement. Facility details The facility occupies about 320 acres of previous agricultural farmland, and is located near several other large solar power plants in the sunny and cool San Luis Valley. It was developed and constructed by SunPower, and is owned by a subsidiary of the French company TotalEnergies which is also the majority owner of SunPower. The plant is built using SunPower's Oasis Power Plant System, which includes single-axis tracking, robotic panel cleaning, and real-time monitoring at the company's operations center. Construction began in early 2015, and employed about 150 workers. Mortenson Construction completed the site preparation and installed the array support piles and other civil structures. Commercial operations began in December 2015 shortly after the delivery of first electricity to the grid. The facility is sited adjacent to a San Luis Valley substation and has been planned to accommodate a future 100 MW expansion.

Comanche Solar Project

The Comanche Solar Project is a 120 megawatt (MWAC) photovoltaic power station near the city of Pueblo, Colorado. It became the largest solar facility in the state when it came online in late 2016. The electricity is being sold to Public Service of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy, under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA). Xcel determined through an open bid process that the PPA's terms were competitive with natural gas. Construction details The project occupies a total of about 900 acres split into two parcels that are adjacent to the coal-fired Comanche Generating Station; thus providing access to existing high-capacity substation and transmission infrastructure. It uses 502,056 Trina Solar polycrystalline silicon panels that are mounted in rows and onto single-axis trackers. The rows are organized into 75 blocks, and the electricity produced from each block is connected to the electric grid through an inverter built by TMEIC. In early 2015, SunEdison awarded an EPC contract for the project to Renewable Energy Systems (RES) of Broomfield. Work at the site began in August and proceeded through the winter months, with most balance of system (BOS) construction activities completed by April 2016. The panel installation, electrical integration, and acceptance testing proceeded through the summer, enabling the start of commercial operations in September. The completed facility is operated and maintained by Swinerton Renewable Energy. Development and ownership history The project was originated by Community Energy, which completed many of the initial negotiations such as the grid integration strategy, land leases, and required permits. SunEdison announced its acquisition of the project in July 2014 concurrent with the results of Xcel's open solicitation/competitive bid process. In August, SunEdison announced its strategy to finance the $253 million Comanche project using a novel special purpose vehicle named "First Reserve". As designed with its partner Everstream Capital Management, this funding mechanism - a special type of warehouse - would expand to meet demand from new investors as Comanche (and future projects) moved into construction, thus reducing the need for incremental equity contributions by SunEdison while preserving a first right of call provision for its TerraForm Power yield co. With all requirements in place, the start of construction was announced in August 2015. Most BOS work was complete by the time that SunEdison filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 21, 2016. Nevertheless, work at Comanche and other SunEdison projects continued unabated due to the company's receipt of $300 million in bankruptcy debt financing. On May 16, 2017 Novatus Energy announced its purchase of the operating Comanche facility, although terms were not disclosed.

Flugplatz Meadow Lake

Der Flugplatz Meadow Lake (englisch Meadow Lake Airport, ICAO-Code: KFLY, FAA-LID: FLY) ist ein öffentlicher Flugplatz 26 km nördlich des zentralen Stadtbezirks von Colorado Springs im US-Bundesstaat Colorado. Er befindet sich im Besitz der privat geführten Meadow Lake Airport Association Inc. Geschichte Meadow Lake ist der größte unüberwachte Flugplatz im US-Bundesstaat Colorado. Er wurde am 1. November 1967 eröffnet und ist ein Reliever Airport für die allgemeine Luftfahrt der Region Colorado Springs. Auf dem Flugplatzgelände sind mehrere mit der Luftfahrt verbundene Unternehmen angesiedelt, darunter Flugschulen und Anlagen zur Flugzeugwartung. 2010 erhielt der Flugplatz von der US-amerikanischen Luftfahrtaufsichtsbehörde (FAA) eine Genehmigung, eine automatisierte Wetterstation zu installieren. Das System wurde fertiggestellt und am 21. Oktober 2010 von der FAA freigegeben. Am 14. Januar 2011 wurde der von der FAA zugewiesene Identifizierungscode von 00V zu FLY geändert. Obwohl die meisten US-amerikanischen Flughäfen von der FAA und der IATA den gleichen Code zugewiesen bekommen, ist dies hier nicht der Fall, da der Flugplatz keinen IATA-Code besitzt. Der Code FLY wurde von der IATA an den Flughafen Finley (New South Wales, Australien) vergeben. Infrastruktur Der Flugplatz Meadow Lake liegt in einer Höhe von 2.096 m und erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 806 ha. Er verfügt über drei Start- und Landebahnen. Die Hauptbahn 15/33 (1.829 × 18 m) verfügt über einen Asphaltoberfläche, zusätzlich existieren die Bahnen 8/26 (648 × 11 m Asphalt/Kies) und 16/34 (1.524 × 60 m Gras). Verkehrszahlen Im Jahr 2018 gab es am Flugplatz 67.500 Flugbewegungen, was einem Durchschnitt von 185 Flugbewegungen pro Tag entspricht. 70 % dieses Aufkommen konnten der allgemeinen Luftfahrt zugeordnet werden, die anderen 30 % der Flüge waren militärischer Natur. In diesem Zeitraum waren 392 Flugzeuge am Flugplatz stationiert, die meisten davon (339) waren einmotorig. Zwischenfälle Am 7. Dezember 2006 kollidierte eine Piper Archer während eines Landeversuchs auf dem Flugplatz Meadow Lake mit einem Baum. Der Pilot wurde leicht verletzt. Am 3. April 2022 kollidierte eine Piper Cherokee (N9119W) bei der Landung auf Piste 15 mit einem Hangar, nachdem ein Windstoß das Flugzeug von der Landebahn gedrängt hatte. Alle drei Insassen kamen verletzt in ein Krankenhaus, das Flugzeug wurde irreparabel beschädigt. Weblinks Offizielle Website Einzelnachweise
