Yuma Proving Ground
Highway 95 Land Withdrawal
Notice of Public Comment Period and Virtual Meetings
The U.S. Army Garrison Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is preparing a Legislative Environmental Impact
Statement (LEIS) to analyze the environmental impacts associated with the U.S. Department of the Army's
(Army) request to withdraw and reserve for military purposes approximately 22,000 acres of public land
managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). If the request is approved by Congress, then the
requested area would be added to the existing YPG withdrawal area and would extend a portion of the YPG
boundary east to Highway 95, establishing the highway as a distinct physical landmark for the YPG bound-
ary in that area. The requested withdrawal area would provide an additional safety buffer area to support air
delivery testing on existing YPG facilities.
The public may submit comments on the proposal until December 8, 2022.
