Rating
Evidence insufficient to rate; an information request is listed
- The rule
Code computed the rating from the assessor's inputs:
present=unknown -> Unknown (abstain)
Set by the rule
- Decision
- Abstained (information request)
- Evidence state
- Missing · no evidence in hand
Conclusion withheld
- Question
- Are there airports, military airspace, radar or microwave paths, or glare receptors near Brook Hollow Solar that meet FAA notice criteria?
- Missing evidence
- FAA notice criteria screen or determination and glare analysis; no aviation or airspace evidence in the data room.
- Consequence
- Aviation and glare constraints cannot be rated. A hazard determination or glare receptor could add schedule and design risk.
- Information request
- Provide any FAA Form 7460-1 screening, airport proximity review, glare analysis, or DoD Siting Clearinghouse correspondence. Otherwise commission an FAA screen and glare study.
- Blocks the decision
- No
Revision
Not revised.
The five inputs
Present: unknown
No claims address airports, airspace, glare receptors or radar/microwave paths. The FAA screen and glare analysis were not found. Silence is not evidence of absence.
Cites no claim.
Extent: unknown
No evidence on airports, airspace or beam paths relative to the buildable area.
Cites no claim.
Avoidable: unknown
No evidence on aviation or glare constraints, so avoidability cannot be judged.
Cites no claim.
Pathway: none
Placeholder because presence is unknown; no evidence provided.
Cites no claim.
Impact likely: no
Placeholder because presence is unknown; no evidence provided.
Cites no claim.
Critique
- Verdict
- upheld
- Suggested direction for the rating
- unknown
- Summary
Abstention is appropriate: no claims address aviation, glare or radar. Only minor issues: placeholder pathway/impact values could be misread as findings, and the next steps could add an FAA Notice Criteria Tool screen using the site coordinates.

Issues
Severity minor · Kind missing_next_step
Abstention is correct given silence. Next steps could add an FAA Notice Criteria Tool screen using the project coordinates (40.2086, -85.6892), and Indiana DoD/military airspace checks. Also consider the Indiana Department of Transportation aviation office and local airport sponsors. These are suggestions, not defects.
Severity minor · Kind other
Placeholder inputs pathway=none and impact_likely=no could be misread as findings of no pathway or no impact. The category correctly stays Unknown, but the wording should say 'not assessed'. The comment that FAA 7460-1 'if required' is appropriately conditional.

IR-6fe6e5de55 · Medium priority
Are there airports, military airspace, radar or microwave paths, or glare receptors near Brook Hollow Solar that meet FAA notice criteria?
- Missing evidence
- FAA notice criteria screen or determination and glare analysis; no aviation or airspace evidence in the data room.
- Consequence
- Aviation and glare constraints cannot be rated. A hazard determination or glare receptor could add schedule and design risk.
- Blocks the decision
- No
- Raised by
- abstention
Next steps
- Run FAA Part 77 notice criteria screen and file Form 7460-1 if required.
- Commission glare analysis for nearby airports, roads and residences.
- Check military airspace and radar with DoD Siting Clearinghouse.

Cost and impact
- Impact
- None given.
- Potential cost level
- N/A
- Why
Presence is unknown, so cost exposure cannot be assessed.
Impact: C = cost, S = schedule. Potential cost level: L, L-M, M, M-H, H (relative to a utility-scale solar budget).
Comments
No FAA notice criteria screen or glare analysis is included in the data room. Proximity to airports, military airspace, radar or microwave paths, and glare receptors is not addressed. Desktop airspace screening would settle presence.
