PLAN DEVELOPMENT
3.3.1 Plan development consists of evaluating the technical/legal/social
economic alternatives identified through the evaluation process and tying them
to a new budget plan. Major modifications to existing facilities or
construction of new ones require line item listing in military budgets. Such
expenditures do not come out of normal base operating funds. Third-party
financing is another option for acquiring solids handling equipment or setting
