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
"The proposed project consists of the installation of one (1) new PET resin industrial storage silo at an existing manufacturing facility located at 110 W L Runnels Industrial Drive Hattiesburg Mississippi. The structure will be located within an established industrial plant site approximately 1 mile southwest of Hattiesburg Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport.\n\nThe silo will be a permanent vertical aluminum welded structure with a maximum height of 54 feet above ground level. It will be constructed within the existing facility footprint adjacent to six (6) identical existing silos of similar design and height currently in operation at the site.\n\nThe proposed structure will be used for industrial storage and will not include any aviation-related lighting or antennas extending above the top of the structure. Construction will be conducted on previously developed industrial property with no change to land use."
