(1) ELIGIBLE COSTS. Reasonable and necessary project costs that are consistent with the project scope and incurred during the project period are eligible for grant funds, as follows:
(a) Eligible costs may include, but
are not limited to:
1. Labor costs directly
related to and required for completing the project. Costs shall be based on the
actual wage paid by the sponsor including salary and fringe benefits.
2. Direct costs for materials and equipment
used for project-related purposes or the cost of the portion of materials or
equipment time used for the project.
3. The cost of leased or rented equipment
used for project-related purposes.
4. All costs shall be supported by time
sheets, vouchers or similar documentation reflecting specific assignment to the
project.
(b) Engineering
or planning fees directly related to designing and carrying out the actual
removal of the dam may be eligible. Engineering costs incurred prior to the
project period may be eligible if specifically provided for in the grant
award.
(c) Restoration and
stabilization within the former impoundment, and revision of the 100 year flood
plain delineation may also be eligible.
(2) INELIGIBLE COSTS. Those costs that the department determines are not directly associated with or necessary to implement the project are ineligible for grant funding. Ineligible costs include, but are not limited to:
(a) Fines and
penalties due to violation of, or failure to comply with federal, state or
local laws and regulations.
(b)
Indirect costs including administrative costs and costs to purchase vehicles or
other property not directly related to the project.

be received from any other funding source.
(d) Costs associated with operation and
maintenance of the property.

of a sponsor participates in the selection, awarding or administration of a
contract supported by the project and:
1. The
official or employee, or his or her spouse or partner, has an ownership
interest in the firm selected for the contract; or
2. A person identified in subd. 1. receives a
contract, gratuity or favor from the award of the contract.

determining the fate of the dam, planning alternatives, collecting input
