Abstract
The South Nation River watershed has a regulated water quality trading program. By law, waste water dischargers must discharge 0 kg of phosphorus (P) loadings into receiving waters. New wastewater systems are now choosing trading instead of traditional P removal technology. These point source dischargers are buying P credits from rural landowners, primarily farmers. These credits are generated by constructing non-point source pollution control measures, and calculating the kg of P removed by each measure. South Nation Conservation, a community based watershed organization, is the broker for these P credits. The program is run by a multi-stakeholder committee, and all project field visits are done by farmers and not paid professionals.
