(1) prohibit a county from participating in the program
under this subsection if the executive director determines that the
county has not complied with one or more material requirements of
this subchapter;
(2) prohibit a county from participating in the program
under this subsection until the executive director determines that
the county has complied with all material requirements of this subchapter;
or
(3) remove a project from participation in the program
under this subsection if work on the project is not begun within three
years after the date of the agreement under §15.191 of this subchapter
(relating to Agreement) or within another reasonable period that is
agreed to by the department and the county.
(b) Prior to exercising any of the enforcement remedies
under this section or the reimbursement remedy described under §15.196
of this subchapter (relating to Reimbursement), the department will
provide to the county written notice that identifies the applicable
requirement and specifies the failure to comply. The county may respond
in writing to the department with a reasonable schedule for the county's
timely compliance with the applicable requirement, or if compliance
is not practical, with an alternative proposal that is acceptable
to the department. If the county fails to deliver an acceptable response
to the department within 30 days after the date that the county received
the notice under this section, the department may proceed with the
remedy provided under the applicable section.
