What is the altitude at which ZAE shall clear all arrivals into MLU ATCT when notified that holding is required?

When holding is required for arrivals into the Monroe (MLU) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), aircraft are typically cleared to a specific altitude that ensures safe separation and management of air traffic. The altitude at which ZAE will clear all arrivals into MLU ATCT, when notified that holding is necessary, is 7,000 feet.

This altitude is selected to avoid conflicts with other traffic, including arrivals and departures from nearby airfields, and to maintain a safe buffer between levels of air traffic in the vicinity. It allows the aircraft to hold in a controlled manner while awaiting further clearance for approach and landing.

The other altitudes mentioned do not reflect the standard for holding at MLU ATCT under the specified conditions and would either be too high for efficient management of arrivals or not align with established air traffic procedures for that region.
