Section 153.18. Targeted runoff management project screening.

  This section applies only to targeted runoff management projects.

(1)  The department may deny consideration of applications that are incomplete by the submittal deadline. The department may consider an application incomplete if the project proposal requires significant additional review to determine compliance with other state laws and the department determines that such reviews may significantly delay the project. State laws that the department may consider in determining if the application is incomplete include those to protect navigable waters, wetlands, historic places, historic properties, endangered resources, or threatened resources and laws for managing environmental hazards due to site contamination.

(2)  The department shall screen each completed project application to determine if the project meets basic eligibility criteria for funding under this chapter. The department shall use the information required in s. NR 153.17 (4) to make this determination. The department shall remove from further consideration applications that fail to satisfy screening requirements and shall inform the applicant of this decision.
