What this outcome means
The FAA sent the case back to the filer rather than issuing a determination. This is the most common non-clean outcome and usually means something has to change or be supplied before the study can finish — not that the project was refused.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Construction of a pad-mounted permanent airfield electrical vault associated with the Miscellaneous Electrical Work - Phase 2 project at Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The points in this submission represent the corners of the proposed vault footprint. The heights provided for each corner include the height of the concrete pad the vault is mounted on. No rooftop appurtenances antennas lighting or obstructions are proposed. Three permanent wind walls (approximately four feet wide and ten feet high) will be installed within a foot of and perpendicular to the vault walls at the end of each entrance ramp two on the southwest side and one on the northwest side of the vault. (see Exhibit B). Adjacent to the proposed vault on the side closest to Runway 6-24 the following permanent pad-mounted electrical equipment will be installed: an equipment rack a transformer and two loop switch stations. Adjacent to the equipment pad on the side closest to Runway 6-24 a light pole will be installed on a separate foundation. A separate 7460 form will be submitted for the pad-mounted electrical equipment and light pole. There will be two staging/stockpile areas for the construction. Two separate temporary construction 7460 forms will be submitted for each staging/stockpile area. There will be underground construction for miscellaneous electrical work in the areas on and around Taxiway G Taxiway C Runway 15-33 and Taxiway A. Separate 7460 forms will be submitted for the areas of that temporary construction work."
