			 appropriate regional liaison of the department of natural resources and to the
			 department of transportation, at least 14 days before the pre-construction

			 select best management practices from the matrix published under s.

1. The department of transportation may not
			 hold a pre-construction conference until at least 14 days after the prime
			 contractor delivered or mailed the ECIP to the department of natural resources,
			 unless either of the following occurs before the pre-construction conference is

			 delivered or mailed the ECIP to the department of natural resources to review
			 the ECIP and deliver written comments to the department of transportation and
			 to the prime contractor. At the earliest practicable time, but not more than 7
