South Dakota Army National Guard

Public Notice - Crossing of North Bahnson Avenue

The South Dakota Army National Guard (SDARNG) is proposing the crossing of North Bahnson Avenue just north of Benson Road in Sioux Falls, SD. The purpose of the proposed action is to provide connectivity between the SDARNG’s Unit Training and Equipment Site (UTES), the Readiness Center, and training areas used by the SDARNG. The training areas are used by the SDARNG to fulfill the SDARNG mission ready training requirements, to comply with the federal mission of providing ready units to the National Defense effort, and to maintain the safety and security of the civilian community. The crossing of North Bahnson Avenue would allow the SDARNG transfer equipment between the UTES, National Readiness Center, and training areas without trailering.

A 30-day public comment period will be available from the start date of this publication. Based upon the scope of the project, there are no anticipated adverse effects of the proposed action. A Categorical Exclusion is anticipated to be issued for the crossing action. Please provide comments to Major William Domagall, SDARNG Environmental Program Manager at william.d.domagall.mil@army.mil or 605.737.6502. Comments must be received by March 24th.
