To receive testimony and public comment and take final action on management of the Small Community Grants priority lists under Chapter 62-505, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Funds are available for adding new projects to the Small Community Wastewater Facilities Grants priority list. Eligible grant amounts may be adjusted for projects already listed on a Small Community Grants priority list which remain incompletely funded. Additionally, some grant projects may need adjustment as a result of principal forgiveness loans awarded pursuant to the FY 2010 Federal SRF Capitalization Grant and its FY 2011 continuing resolutions regarding availability of principal forgiveness loans. Prior to Department action at the hearing, all interested persons will have the opportunity to testify regarding the lists and any proposed actions. The Department may adopt, modify, or deny the proposed actions at the hearing. After the hearing, the Department will file the written Record of Final Agency Action. A copy of the Record of Final Agency Action will be made available to persons sponsoring the projects at issue and to any person submitting a timely written request. Such written requests must be submitted at the hearing or must be filed with: Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water Facilities Funding, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Mail Station #3505, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, no later than 5:00 p.m. on the first working day after the public hearing.
