There are two project categories in which the competitive funding is allocated: Activities and facilities.

1. (1) The scores derived from the application rating and ranking process will determine the allocation of the competitive funding;
2. (2) No more than two-thirds of the fund can go to either category;
3. (3) If the demand for funding is low in either category, then funds may be shifted amongst categories; and

4. (4) The department will adjust the funding allocation based on the following:

   1. (a) To provide match for other funding sources, such as the Clean Water Act section 319 nonpoint source program or other funding programs; or

   2. (b) To comply with funding restrictions in legislative appropriations.

      For example:

      If fifty percent of the competitive centennial program funding is comprised of state building construction account funds, then fifty percent of the centennial program funding must be allocated to projects approved for that funding source.
