203 Acres Withdrawn for Navy Use
About 203 acres in Yuma County, Arizona, are set aside for the Department of the Navy for border security. Those lands are withdrawn from settlement, sale, location, and entry under the general land laws (including the United States mining laws, mineral leasing laws, and geothermal leasing laws) and will be under Navy administration for a period of 3 years.
Existing Rights Remain Valid
If you already hold valid rights on the affected lands, those rights remain valid even after the withdrawal. Existing rights are preserved while the approximately 203 acres are managed by the Department of the Navy for 3 years.
