(1) Among types of grants and loans. The department will fund remedial action grants and loans in the following order of priority:

(a) Oversight remedial action grants and loans under an existing extended grant agreement;

(b) Site assessment grants and other remedial action grants and loans for previously funded projects, provided that substantial progress has been made; and

(c) Remedial action grants and loans for new projects.

(2) For each type of grant or loan. For each type of remedial action grant or loan, the department will further prioritize projects for funding or limit funding for projects based on the factors specified in WAC 173-322A-300 through 173-322A-350, as applicable.

(3) Oversight remedial action loans. The department will fund an oversight remedial action loan from the same fund allocation used to fund the associated oversight remedial action grant. When the demand for funds exceeds the amount allocated, the department will give the oversight remedial action grant and loan the same priority.
