All facilities plans must contain that information described in the Department's guidance for DWSIRLF facilities plans, including updates, and as may be required by Department pursuant to review of the facilities plan. The facilities plan must also be prepared in accordance with Appendices A, C, H, I, K, M, and N of these regulations. The facilities plan must also include a financial capability summary in accordance with Departmental guidance and must demonstrate that there are no proposed eligible costs that could be avoided or significantly reduced by appropriate consolidation of that public water system with any other public water system. Should an applicant desire to omit or modify a portion of the facilities plan as required by the Department's guidance for DWSIRLF facilities plans, approval by the Department of such omission or modification must be obtained prior to completion and submission of the facilities plan. The facilities plan must bear the seal of the registered engineer responsible for preparation of this document.
The loan applicant is required to hold a public hearing on the facilities plan. A notice for the hearing must be published in an appropriate local newspaper at least 30 days prior to the hearing date, and the plan shall be available for public review during this period. Topics to be discussed at the hearing include the facilities to be built, why they are needed, where they will be built, how much they will cost, the average monthly user charge, and the environmental impact. If a project change is significant enough to require a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) amendment, a new public hearing may be required.
