Sites listed in classifications C and D must be ranked according to their HRS scores. The commissioner may allocate funds within each of the two classes to any site with a release or a threatened release that is within ten HRS points of the highest scored site within the class, based upon the cost of the necessary response actions; the effect of the release or the threatened release on public health, welfare, or the environment; and the administrative capabilities of the agency. If there are no other sites within ten HRS points of the highest scored site within the class, the commissioner may allocate funds to the next highest scoring site or sites.
