Any projects for which funding is not initially available shall be listed in the contingency section of the project priority list.

(c) Within the limits of available funds, the department shall fund projects over multiple years if project design and all phases of construction cannot be accomplished within the timeframes established in the IUP under Env-Dw 1105.04. Subsequent portions of such projects shall be listed in the funded portion of the following year's priority list, and in the funded portion for future years, as applicable.

(d) The department shall hold a non-adjudicative public hearing in accordance with Env-C 200 to receive comments on the proposed project priority list and the proposed IUP. The department shall publish a notice of public hearing at least 7 days prior to the date of the hearing in a newspaper of statewide distribution and on its web site. At the public hearing, the department shall provide information about the IUP and the project priority list, including a description of each proposed project.

(e) The project priority list shall become effective and supersede all previous lists upon finalization of the IUP under Env-Dw 1105.04.
