It
is
anticipated
that
1
new,
modified,
or
reconstructed
affected
facility
will
be
constructed
each
year
during
the
next
three
year.

3
It
is
anticipated
that
20
percent
of
the
facilities
would
repeat
performance
testing
each
year.

4.
It
is
projected
that
10
percent
of
the
32
facilities
over
the
next
3
years
would
undergo
physical
or
operational
changes
5
This
is
a
recurring
item
rather
than
a
one­
time
only
occurrence.
Therefore
the
number
of
facilities
is
assumed
to
be
the
average
over
the
next
three
years
(
30
current
facilities
and
an
additional
1
new
facility
per
year).
