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.
