Applicants for a loan and applicants for a grant under the
					 Act for the construction of a proposed project, and applicants for a grant
					 under the Act for the construction of initial water supply and sanitary
					 facilities, shall also file with the Department an application in writing which
					 shall contain a specific request for each type of assistance applied for in a
					 specified amount. Such application may be in the form of a letter and shall be
					 accompanied by twenty-five (25) copies of a feasibility report on the
					 applicant's proposed project and by a resolution by the governing body of the
					 applicant adopting the feasibility report and specifically authorizing the
					 filing of the application by a designated representative who is to represent
					 the applicant until final action is taken by the Department on the application.
					 Feasibility reports shall be prepared at the expense of the applicant, under
					 the direction of a licensed civil engineer, except that where an applicant for
					 a loan for an irrigation distribution system project or a municipal
					 distribution system project has no engineer, the feasibility report may be
					 prepared by or under the direction of, the county surveyor, road commissioner
					 or comparable officer of a county in which the applicant is located, in whole
					 or part. Applicants shall obtain a determination from the Department before
					 filing an application whether feasibility reports shall include reports
					 prepared by financial consultants, economists, recreation planners, or by
					 consultants in other special fields. Supporting material with respect to the
					 ability of a public agency to repay a loan and with respect to the reasonable
					 ability of the public agency to finance all or part of the proposed project
					 from other sources may be supplied by the county assessor or the county
					 engineer.
In addition to the above, applications for loans for
					 irrigation or municipal distribution system projects which involve extreme
					 hardship which jeopardizes the public health, safety or welfare shall describe,
					 generally, such extreme hardship existing with respect to the water supply, the
					 financial and economic conditions existing in the area, and the proposed
					 project, and shall be accompanied by:
(a) A report by the assessor of the local
				  agency with respect to assessed valuation and tax delinquencies.
(b) In cases involving a health hazard with
				  respect to the domestic water supply, a report by the local health officer or
