Truck- Mounted Drilling Rig

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
"Geotechnical Investigation scheduled to be preformed near Airport. The contractor will utilize mobile construction equipment truck-mounted drill rig with a total structure height of 31' AGL (attached reference). Contractor will preform up to (4) exploratory borings with a depth of 20'. Drilling is anticipated to take (2) days. Contractor is requesting for temporary access of mobile construction equipment usage given the proximity to the Airport and its flight path ."
