Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) The number
						  of points for water pollution control shall be based on the extent to which
						  project implementation will eliminate detrimental effects of pollution and
						  public health hazards from existing discharges of untreated or inadequately
						  treated sewage.
(b) The following
						  point values shall be used to determine rating points for this factor.
(1)
Community environment and
						  aesthetics
-Use matrix in assigning points as follows:
(i)
Category A-24 points
						  maximum
-Documented evidence or technical evaluation conducted or
						  approved by the Department confirming that a majority of onlot disposal systems
						  in the rated area are malfunctioning or otherwise inadequate with numerous
						  instances of untreated or inadequately treated sewage found in publicly
						  accessible areas; or untreated or inadequately treated sewage is being
						  discharged to surface streams from sewers, storm drains, or overloaded sewage
						  conveyance facilities in dry weather.
(ii)
Category B-16 points
						  maximum
-The rated area has a documented history of a significant
						  number of malfunctioning onlot disposal systems-this includes deficiently
						  designed onlot systems and visual evidence of malfunctioning onlot systems
						  primarily found in residential yards or adjacent areas; or documented
						  intermittent discharges to surface streams from sewers, storm drains, or
						  overloaded sewage conveyance facilities; or documented evidence of discharges
						  of inadequately treated sewage from treatment plants to water quality
						  limitation segments.
(iii)
Category C-10 points maximum
-Existing onlot systems in the
						  rated area are shown to occasionally malfunction; major portions of the rated
						  area have physical condition which limit the application of onlot disposal
						  systems; or there is visual evidence in the project area of discharges of
						  untreated or inadequately treated sewage from sewage conveyance facilities
						  primarily in wet weather or other periods of peak sewage flows; or documented
						  evidence of discharges of inadequately treated sewage from treatment plants to
						  effluent limitation segments.
(iv)
Category D-6 points maximum
-Discharges of sewage receiving at
