(a) The Agency shall send a notice by certified mail to each Applicant whose Application contains an invalid area. The notice shall contain a description of the invalid area, and an explanation as to why the area is invalid. For the purposes of this section, “invalid area” means an Application Area, or portion thereof, that is included in the Application of more than one Applicant or is not wholly contained within the boundaries of an Eligible Area.

(b) The Agency shall permit an Applicant whose Application contains an invalid area an opportunity to submit an addendum to the Application (“addendum”). The addendum shall indicate whether or not the boundaries of the originally proposed Application Area have been changed.

(c) The addendum shall be signed by a majority of the members of each governing body with Jurisdiction in the Application Area.

(d) The Applicant shall submit the original of the addendum, together with three (3) copies thereof, to the Agency no later than 5 p.m., fourteen (14) days after the subsection (a) notice is mailed by the Agency. The Agency shall reject, without review, any addendum submitted after the due date.

(e) If, after the Agency's review of the addendum received on or before the due date described in subsection (d), the Application Area continues to contain an invalid area, the Agency shall disqualify the Application and no further review of the Application shall be conducted.

(f) If, after the Agency's review of the addendum, the Application Area identified in the Application no longer contains an invalid area, the Application, with the amended boundaries, shall be qualified to undergo further review by the Agency.
