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
"Geotechnical investigation to drill 14 borings to depths of about 15 feet to obtain soil samples. We will be using a mobile drill rig that has a mast height of about 17 feet. Coordinates indicate the extent of the work area we will be drilling in. Boring location plan shows the rough locations of each boring. Each boring will be about 4 inches in outside diameter. Borings 13B and 14B are alternates of B13 and B14 and we will only be drilling one set of those."

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.
