Under section 6 of the act (35 P. S. § 750.6) and § § 71.42 and 71.43 (relating to application for grants; and approval of grants), the Department will administer grants to municipalities, counties and authorities for preparing update revisions and special studies to the extent of the appropriations made by the General Assembly for that purpose. Municipalities, counties and authorities intending to apply for the grants shall submit to the Department an outline of the proposed plan content, time schedule for plan completion and estimated cost by planning task on a form provided by the Department or other form acceptable to the Department prior to beginning the plan. Costs for completion of planning activities outside the scope of the proposed plan content are not eligible for a grant unless proposals for inclusion of additional activities and increased costs associated with these activities have been submitted to and approved by the Department and are within the scope of the act.

Notes of Decisions Injunction
Where landowner installed a sewage holding tank without a permit, the Township was entitled to an injunction from the moment that the system was first installed despite township’s delay in processing landowner’s request for an application. Millstone Enterprises, Inc. v. Department of Environmental Resources, 516 A.2d 814 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1986).
Property owners’ challenge to a denial of a sewer permit by the township sewer enforcement officer, based on the requirements of this section, was properly appealable to the local court of common pleas. Consumer Investment Fund v. Supervisors of Smithfield Township, 532 A.2d 543 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1987).
