This section restricts grants for sewage collection systems and for controlling discharges from separate storm sewers. It also limits use of population density as an eligibility test.

(a) A grant for a sewage collection system may be made only for replacing or substantially rehabilitating an existing system when necessary for the total integrity and performance of the community’s treatment works, or for a new system in an existing community with enough existing or planned capacity to treat the sewage and consistent with section 1281. (b) If the Administrator uses population density to decide whether a collector sewer qualifies, it may be used only to evaluate alternatives and the system’s needs in relation to ground- or surface-water effects. (c) From funds authorized for fiscal years during October 1, 1977 through September 30, 1990, no grant under this subchapter may fund treatment works controlling pollutant discharges from separate storm sewer systems.

(b) Use of population density as test

If the Administrator uses population density as a test for determining the eligibility of a collector sewer for assistance it shall be only for the purpose of evaluating alternatives and determining the needs for such system in relation to ground or surface water quality impact.

No grant shall be made under this subchapter from funds authorized for any fiscal year during the period beginning October 1, 1977, and ending September 30, 1990, for treatment works for control of pollutant discharges from separate storm sewer systems.
