§ 1281a. Total treatment system funding
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any case where the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency finds that the total of all grants made under section
1281 of this title for the same treatment works exceeds the actual construction costs for such treatment works (as defined in this chapter) such excess amount shall be a grant of the Federal share (as defined in this chapter) of the cost of construction of a sewage collection system if—
(1)
such sewage collection system was constructed as part of the same total treatment system as the treatment works for which such grants under section
1281 of this title were approved, and
(2)
an application for assistance for the construction of such sewage collection system was filed in accordance with section
3102 of title
42 before all such grants under section
1281 of this title were made and such grant under section
3102 of title
42 could not be approved due to lack of funding under such section
3102 of title
42.
The total of all grants for sewage collection systems made under this section shall not exceed $2,800,000.
