EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS THAT ARE CONSIDERED
NEW/EXPANSION PROJECTS
Water Supply Systems:
Installation of a water supply system or water treatment facility in an area that is currently not

waste water disposal, such as a septic tank, is not considered a waste water disposal system.)
Extension of an existing waste water disposal system
Roads:
Paving of a gravel road – a road that has not been sealed and is maintained with a grader
Widening of an existing road in order to create a passing lane (only the created lane portion of the
improvement is categorized as new and expanded)
Bridges and Culverts:

Construction of a culvert at a site in which no culvert currently exists
Storm Water Systems:
Construction of a storm water system in an area that is currently not served by a storm water
system
Extension of an existing storm water system
Solid Waste Facilities:
Construction of a solid waste facility in an area that is currently not served by a solid waste facility
