1. (a) An adopter in good standing who has had a Permit canceled due to a change in site classification or suspended due to construction is given a “displaced adopter status.” A displaced adopter is allowed to choose one of the following options:

   1. (1) Allow the Permit to be canceled with no further action.

   2. (2) Be placed first on the waiting list for sites within ten miles in either direction of the lost site (on the same highway).

      1. (A) If more than one displaced adopter is placed on the waiting list for the same site, the ranking is determined by the number of months the displaced adopter had an active Permit issued for the lost site.
      2. (B) A displaced adopter is given one offer to adopt a site. If the offer is refused, the adopter forfeits its displaced adopter status and all waiting list entries created as a result of its displaced adopter status are deleted.
      3. (C) Once a displaced adopter accepts an alternate site, the remaining waiting list entries created as a result of its displaced adopter status are deleted.
