Watershed Alliance update:

Previously when talking about the Monocacy Catocotin Alliance, I mentioned that they were involved in the planning for the State of Maryland’s Nutrient Trading program.  I found a great resource to help identify potential sellers and buyers for credits.  The EPA is congressionally mandated to preform a Clean Watersheds Needs Survey which provides a comprehensive assessment of the capital costs needs to meat the water quality goals of the clean water act and collects data from:
  • ·      All Publicly owned wastewater collection and treatment facilities
  • ·      Stormwater and combined sewer overflow facilities
  • ·      Some non-point source projects
  • ·      Decentralized wastewater management projects

The reports are available here and are a really good source of data as they are essentially a census for the nations water treatment plants.
