From 100 meters (328 feet) to a distance of 200 meters (656 feet), any groups of
trees must be less than 10 meters (33 feet) in he ight and must subtend a horizontal
angle of less than 7 degrees with respect to the VOR. Any power lines must be
less than 5 meters (16 feet) in height and must be located on a radial to the VOR.
The power lines must subtend a horizontal angle of less than 10 degrees with
respect to the VOR. Terrain slope must be less than 4%.
(c)
From 200 meters (656 feet) to a distance of 300 meters (984 feet), buildings must
be less than 12 meters (39 feet) in height, metallic buildings must be less than 6
meters (23 feet) in height and the terrain slope must be less than 8%. Power lines
must be less than 9 meters (30 feet) in height.
In addition to the above requirements, any obstructions may not exceed the vertical
angles shown on the drawing.

From the FAA VOR, VOR/DME and VORTAC Siting Criteria handbook Order
6820.2D, Paragraph 17(c)(3)
(a)
General. All obstructions within 1000 feet of the antenna are to be removed
except as noted below. Normal crop raising and grazing operations may be
permitted in this area, except at mountain top facilities where the antennas are 4feet high. In these instances, crop raising and grazing must be restricted to areas
below and off the counterpoise. No grazing should be permitted in the vicinity of
the monitor detectors.
(b)
Trees and Forests. Trees close to the VOR antenna can cause severe scalloping.
Single trees of moderate height (up to 30 feet) may be tolerated beyond 500 feet,
but no closer. No groups of trees should be within a 1000- foot radius or subtend a
vertical angle of more than 2 degrees. At mountain top sites, no trees within 1000
feet should be visible from the antenna array.

(c)
Wire Fences. Ordinary farm- type wire fences about 4-feet high are not permitted
within 200 feet of the antenna; fences of the chain type (6 feet or more in height)
are not permitted within 500 feet of the antenna; beyond these distances no wire
fence should extend more than 0.5 degree above the horizontal, measured from
the antenna. These requirements may be relaxed for fences essentially radial to
the antenna. Since there is a large number of possible combinations of fence
height and orientation with the terrain configuration of various types, each of
which may produce a different effect, the foregoing must serve as a general guide
only. At mountain top sites, wire fences may be permitted within 200 feet of the
antenna, provided they do not extend above the line of sight from the top of the
antenna to the edge of the level area (that is, they are within the shadow area of
the ground counterpoise).
(d)
Power and Control Lines. Power and control line extensions should be installed
underground for a minimum distance of 600 feet from the antenna. Overhead
power and control lines may be installed beyond 600 feet but should be
essentially radial to the antenna for a minimum distance of 1200 feet. No
overhead conductors (including possible future construction), except for
extensions serving the site, should be permitted within 1200 feet of the antenna.
If a non-radial conductor is so oriented that it does not come within 1200 feet of
the antenna, but the perpendicular distance to the antenna from its imaginary
extension is less than 1200 feet, then the vertical angle subtended by the
uppermost conductor and/or the top of the pole (measured from the ground
elevation at the antenna site) should not exceed 1 degree; also no conductor
should extend above the horizontal plane of the antenna.
Other than the foregoing, there should be no lines or supporting structures so
located that they subtend a vertical angle (measured from the ground elevation at
the site) of greater than 1.5 degrees. In addition, no conductor should extend
more than 0.5 degree above the horizontal plane containing the antennas, unless
they are essentially radial (within 10 degrees) to the antenna array. At mountain
top sites, the conductors will be permitted within 1200 feet of the antenna,
provided they do not extend above the conical surface formed by the top of the
antenna and the edge of the leveled area.

Grading. TVOR sites should be level within 1000 feet (300m) of the antenna.
However a downward slope of as much as 4 percent is permitted between 200 feet
(60m) and 1000 feet (300m) of the antenna. Surfaces should be cleared and
smooth with no major irregularities.
