The proposed project is to add the approximately 22,000 acres of land between the current YPG boundary and Arizona State Route (Highway) 95. YPG conducts extensive parachute-based training exercises within the existing YPG boundaries adjacent to the requested withdrawal area. The requested withdrawal area would enable more robust testing and meet test and training requirements for advances in parachute technologies, by providing additional buffer areas to ensure public safety... A high priority for the YPG Environmental Sciences Division is to promote open communication and coordination on environmental issues- sharing information and success stories, increasing involvement and commitment among all parties. The YPG military community must be "environmentally sustainable," which means we must go beyond mere compliance with laws and regulations towards long-term reduction of our overall environmental footprint.
