The Director may designate more than one area at a time, and if so, the designation may include a prioritization of the areas for implementation of the I/I reduction program. The prioritization may be made on the basis of the number, frequency and duration of the SSOs and WIB events, the likelihood of human exposure and the priority, if any, assigned by Ohio EPA or other relevant factors. The Director shall provide notice of the Director's designation and the opportunity for public comment on the proposed designation.
(B) Final action taken by the Director with respect to the designation of an area for implementation of the I/I reduction program is appealable in accordance with Section 1145.94.
