§ 86.52 What does the Service consider when evaluating a project on the need for more or improved boating infrastructure? In evaluating a proposed project under the criterion at §§ 86.51(a)(1) on the need for more or improved boating infrastructure facilities, we consider whether the project will: (a) Construct new boating infrastructure in an area that lacks it, but where eligible vessels now travel or would travel if the project were completed; (b) Renovate a facility to: (1) Improve its physical condition; (2) Follow local building codes; (3) Improve generally accepted safety standards; or (4) Adapt it to a new purpose for which there is a demonstrated need; (c) Create accessibility for eligible vessels by reducing wave action, increasing depth, or making other physical improvements; (d) Expand an existing marina or mooring site that is unable to accommodate current or projected demand by eligible vessels; or (e) Make other improvements to accommodate an established eligible need.
