provisions identifying, describing and evaluating the range of feasible
alternatives for the disposal of stormwater runoff associated with
the implementation of such a project, if necessary, and shall explicitly
identify the plan or method to be utilized for such project to minimize
the discharge of stormwater runoff directly into surface waters, if
necessary.
A.
