The decontamination process has been initiated and the Bureau of Land Management continues to coordinate with the Department of the Navy.

The overall average density of munitions or munitions debris on site appears to be less than 1 pound per acre. The lands have been entered into the Military Munitions Response Program which will further assess risks to the public and identify mitigation measures--protective measures such as increased signage and public education warning of UXO dangers--that may be necessary. Restrictions on excavations may be put into place. The determination concerning the contaminated state of the land may be found at the Marine Corp Air Station Yuma Environmental Department Web site at http://www.mcasyumaenvironmental.com.
