Nitrogen Credit Trading for Long Island Sound Watershed

Abstract

This study tracked a watershed-based trading program in the Long Island Sound in Connecticut to help other municipalities develop and implement trading programs of their own. Nitrogen effluent credit trading offers an equitable and cost-saving approach for major point sources to meet nitrogen reduction requirements and total maximum daily load (TMDL) limits. Published by WERF. 132 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 97-IRM-5B.
