To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize appropriations for sewer overflow control grants.
Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to require projects receiving sewer overflow control grant assistance to be carried out subject to the requirements applicable to projects receiving assistance from State water pollution control revolving funds, except to the extent that the Governor of the State in which the project is located determines that a revolving fund requirement is inconsistent with the purposes of the sewer overflow control grant program.
Reauthorizes appropriations for sewer overflow control grants through FY 2010.
