SB 314 Nutrient offset credits; new and expanding wastewater discharge facilities to acquire.

Introduced by: Rosalyn R. Dance | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Acquisition of nutrient offset credits. Allows a new or expanding facility registered under the Watershed General Permit to acquire nutrient offset credits, on land located in the same tributary as the facility, on which best management practices have been implemented that would achieve reductions greater than those currently required by federal or state law or the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Watershed Implementation Plan. The bill also allows the acquisition of credits or the allocation of credits under the general permit for a period longer than the current five-year restriction, subject to the approval of the State Water Control Board. This bill is identical to HB 448.
