Spheroid Steel Water Tank
Petersburg, VA · near Fort Lee Nr 1/Hqs (0.9 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Replacement of an existing structure at the same location and same overall height. Existing structure will be demolished and replaced. No net change to height coordinates or marking/lighting. Prior FAA Aeronautical Study No. 2024-AEA-1158-OE expired before construction began."

Check Part 77 and the tower's line of sight before you file
LOS Analyzer screens a proposed structure against FAA Part 77 surfaces and the control tower's sightline to the runway, terrain-aware, in minutes. It is a preliminary screening — not an FAA determination and not a substitute for a licensed engineering review.
