R317-100-2. General

A. The Project Priority System is used to prioritize projects to allocate wastewater revolving loan and grant funds which may be available through the state and federal governments. The priority system is intended to identify those projects which will remedy the most severe water quality problems and to provide funds for the most beneficial program of public health protection and water quality improvement.

B. The Project Priority System will prioritize non-point source pollution, point source pollution (both storm water and municipal wastewater), and underground wastewater disposal system projects which are candidates for funding through the Utah State Wastewater Project Assistance Program. All projects considered for funding under this program receive an "alpha" ranking in accordance with R317-100-4. In addition, all point source projects identified on the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Intended Use Plan (IUP) receive a "numeric" ranking under R317-100-3.
