Clean Water Coalition Applauds Nutrient Trading Bills

The PA Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition today applauded bipartisan legislation introduced by Sen. Pat Vance (R-Cumberland) and Rep. Eugene DePasquale (D-York) that would strengthen the state's Nutrient Credit Trading Program, which would in turn help reduce the cost of complying with Chesapeake Bay and watershed cleanup requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and allow for future economic development and job creation in a large portion of Pennsylvania.
Senate Bill 767 and House Bill 1213 were introduced this week to create a Nutrient Credit Trading Bank to serve as a clearinghouse between buyers and sellers of nutrient credits. (click here for full announcement)
