Abstract

Water quality credit trading has been advanced as a cost-effective means of achieving regulatory compliance. However, the volume of trading activity in operational programs is typically less than estimated by empirical analysis. The compliance behavior of Virginia Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) is studied in response to the Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load (TMDL) to understand the circumstances in which trading is adopted, the extent to which trading is adopted, and the factors contributing to trading's use or nonuse. Results indicate that MS4s generally prefer to install their own pollutant control measures rather than trade. Many MS4s, however, rely on trade as a backup compliance option. MS4s favor bay compliance options that help meet other local management objectives (erosion control, infrastructure protection, and reductions toward local water quality objectives) and provide long term pollutant control benefits. Low cost term credits do not provide such benefits. For perpetual credits, MS4s use a variety of strategies to substantially reduce the cost differences between trade and nontrade compliance options.

养分信用交易对城市雨水部门遵守最大日负荷总量的作用:来自弗吉尼亚州市政独立暴雨系统的证据
水质信用交易被认为是实现监管合规的一种具有成本效益的手段。然而,运行项目中的交易活动量通常低于经验分析的估计值。针对切萨皮克湾最大日负荷总量(TMDL),我们对弗吉尼亚州市政雨污分流系统(MS4)的合规行为进行了研究,以了解采用交易的情况、采用交易的程度以及导致使用或不使用交易的因素。结果表明,MS4 一般倾向于安装自己的污染物控制措施,而不是进行交易。然而,许多 MS4 将交易作为后备合规方案。MS4 更青睐有助于实现其他地方管理目标(侵蚀控制、基础设施保护和减少当地水质目标)并提供长期污染物控制效益的海湾合规方案。低成本的定期排放额度并不能带来这些好处。对于永久信用额度,MS4 采用多种策略来大幅减少贸易与非贸易合规方案之间的成本差异。

期刊介绍: JAWRA seeks to be the preeminent scholarly publication on multidisciplinary water resources issues. JAWRA papers present ideas derived from multiple disciplines woven together to give insight into a critical water issue, or are based primarily upon a single discipline with important applications to other disciplines. Papers often cover the topics of recent AWRA conferences such as riparian ecology, geographic information systems, adaptive management, and water policy. JAWRA authors present work within their disciplinary fields to a broader audience. Our Associate Editors and reviewers reflect this diversity to ensure a knowledgeable and fair review of a broad range of topics. We particularly encourage submissions of papers which impart a ''take home message'' our readers can use.
