section, the board shall give first priority to applications for
facilities designed to control water pollution or otherwise
enhance water quality, including but not limited to pumping
stations for recreational boat holding tanks, and to those other
facilities for which there appears the greatest public need.

application under this subsection must include specific notice to
the applicant of the point or points of the plan that are found
by the board to be inadequate.
