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
"Construct GA Terminal Building; Install New Well Service including Wellhouse and associated utilities\n\nUpdated Case Study for Temporary Well-Drilling Rig that was submitted as part of previous project. Location is site of future well service for the airport and has been slightly adjusted since prior submission. This is the only location where the well-drilling rig will be deployed. All other locations for access will be under the 20' AGL submitted in previous connected case studies."
