Exploratory Drill Rig for soil sampling
Oceano, CA · near Oceano County (0.1 mi)
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
"Mobile drill rig with a mast no taller than 50 feet will be used to drill exploratory borings at the site as part of a USACE research project. I have used a Mobile Equipment in this submittal to identify the boundary of the work area. Note that the Rig is stationary once set up within the noted work area. All access is through the front gate at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. No work or vehicular access will be required through across or within the airport boundary fence."
