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

"The scope of work includes investigating soil and groundwater to verify the presence of Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs). This effort represents the second round of sampling following a previous study completed in 2018 and is being completed by the Air Force. A total of 35 monitoring wells and soil borings will be installed using a drill rig with a height of 40 feet. The proposed sampling is part of an ongoing PFC release site investigation at multiple BRAC installations."

Screening a structure of your own?

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.
