This option also excluded local governments with underground storm drains with a density of less than 1000 persons/square mile (or some other criteria such as building starts, rainfall, or percentage of imperviousness, to be determined if further information indicates that such parameters are better indicators of storm water pollution), unless: -the NPDES authority makes a finding that pollution from runoff from the local government drainage system is contributing to the impairment of beneficial uses or exceedances of water quality standards in a permanent water body, provided that any person can petition the NPDES authority to make or verify such a finding, or -pollution from runoff from the local government drainage system either directly discharges to an adjacent municipality covered by these requirements or significantly contributes to the pollution from runoff which would otherwise be attributable to an adjacent municipality covered by these requirements o While the Agency believed that this option had some merit, there were unresolved issues associated with defining ditches, drainage systems, above ground systems and partial systems.
