HB 2862 Nutrient Credit Exchange Program; created.
Introduced by: L. Preston Bryant, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Nutrient trading. Establishes a nutrient exchange or trading program that would allow point source dischargers to achieve and maintain compliance with the waste load cap allocations for nitrogen and phosphorous delivered to the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries. The State Water Control Board would be required to issue a general permit under the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System to eligible point source dischargers of nitrogen and phosphorous. The facilities that obtain such a permit, and which are interested in participating in the trading program, would be identified together with their individual load cap allocations and trading ratios. The trading association authorized by the bill would provide the mechanism by which those permittees under the general permit would be matched with nutrient trading partners. Within nine months of the issuance of the general permit, the permitees either individually or through the trading association would be required to submit compliance plans to DEQ. The compliance plans would have to include any capital projects and the implementation schedules needed to achieve the nitrogen and phosphorous reductions needed to comply with the waste load allocations for all the permitees in a particular tributary. This bill is identical to SB 1275.
