1 Current Water Quality Trading Program Applications in the US: Where have we been and where are we going? By Mark S. Kieser And Environmental Trading Network Guest co-authors, Lloyd Christmas & Harry Dunn
2 Trading Efforts to Date Many early pilot trading programs have faded Most trades have been Point Source/Point Source (CT, NC) Most trades focus on nutrients (and temperature) Concerted efforts for PS/NPS (a few bilateral trades -- local & small; mostly Ag credit generation) (MN, OH, CO) Growing interest in urban NPS/NPS trades (OR, NC, MN, VA) Growing interest in multiple credits air/water/habitat (PA, CA, OR, FL) EPA WQT/wetlands High costs, scale issues, few Wetland Mitigation Banking/WQT overlaps Environmental Group participation Confusion over trading definitions (e.g., baselines) High transaction costs
3 Early Trading Struggles High program costs (Dillon Reservoir, CO) Time-consuming/lengthy permitting process (MN) Do-it yourselfers (Tar-Pamlico, NC) Legislative short-sightedness (Long Island Sound) Re-inventing the wheel (WI) Complex rules (MI) Lack of cost consciousness; bad TMDL (Cherry Creek, CO) High trading ratios (Chesapeake Bay policy) Lack of drivers/ hammers (Fox River, WI)
4 Ongoing Trading Program Struggles/Shortcomings Farm Bill subsidies and credit generation Definitional struggles (baselines, surpluses ) Changing budget/administrative priorities Lack of regulatory drivers N0 intrastate programs for large watersheds (Ches. Bay, MS River, CO River) Not having everyone at the table (PA) MEP definition and Storm water trading (NC, Tahoe) Competing legislation undermining demand (MD flush tax) Narrowly defined legislation (VA) Lack of trading infrastructure
5 Notable Programs in this Workshop South Nation Conservation, ON -- PS/NPS for P - Over 200 trades; updated NPS quantification; farmer verification Minnesota River, MN PS/NPS to PS/PS for P, N, other - Watershed permits driving trading, interest in trading rules Sugar Creek Alpine Cheese, OH PS/NPS for P - Bilateral trades; ag credits for PS compliance Great Miami River, OH PS/NPS for N & P -Largest U.S. program; brokerage scheme (quasi-governmental) Willamette River Basin, OR urban NPS/urban NPS - Storm water volume offsets for future CSO capacity
6 Notable Programs Boise River, ID PS/NPS for P -Standardized quantification/discounting; clearinghouse/ trading authority Kalamazoo River, MI PS/NPS for P - Ag brokering schemes, electronic registry/market-place Conestoga Basin, PA PS/NPS for P & other - Ag reverse auction approach Lower James River, VA PS/PS for N & P - Legislatively mandated Trading Association Florida - New Trading Rules - NPS caps (true cap and trade?) Long Island Sound, CT PS/PS for N - Legislatively established for municipal WWTPs Tualatin River, OR PS/NPS for temperature (C) - Bankable stream shading credits (35 miles); multiple credits

14 Efforts to Broaden Trading in Michigan New trading infrastructure per rules State registry (regulatory tracking) Marketplace tools (connecting buyers & sellers) Ag banking schemes (credit aggregation) Brokerage opportunities (3 rd party verification)
15 MI Agricultural Trading Framework Producer TSP/Planner Planning MAEAP The Trading Process - Planning: Producer works with MAEAP process OR with a TSP/Planner to develop plan (privately or with a Farm Bill program). - Payment: Farmer receives funds to implement plan from a bank OR a private buyer (after posting on NN). - Notice: If credits formally offered for sale under MI Rules, notice is filed with MDEQ including farmer information. - Use: Credits (and notice info.) get publicly posted on state registry.
