Met tower · 2026
1601
Bluff City, KS · near Caldwell Muni (14.1 mi)
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
"A standalone met tower to collect data for the proposed Bluff Creek Wind Project."
