The MHI of the community which the water service area is located and the statewide MHI will be determined by the department from the income data in the most recent United States census. If an applicant has reason to believe that the census data do not provide a sufficiently accurate representation of the MHI within the area to be served by that applicant's project, the applicant must so notify the department in writing and specifically document the facts which form the basis of this belief. The applicant shall also furnish the department with additional information which the department may use in determining the MHI of the project service area. Information will consist of reliable data from local, regional, State or Federal sources or from an income survey conducted by a reliable impartial source.
(c) The department has the sole authority to determine the existence of an emergency. Projects designed to address emergencies shall receive the highest priority ranking.
(d) Additional points may be awarded to an eligible project in the following manner:
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an eligible project or portion thereof listed in category G, as identified in section 53.5(c)(5) of this Part, shall be evaluated based upon criteria set forth in section 53.5(c)(5) of this Part.
