| Popis: | The Cherry Creek Reservoir in the Denver Metropolitan area is subject to the Cherry Creek Reservoir Control Regulation (control regulation), which establishes a total maximum annual load for the reservoir of 6,473 kg (14,270 lb) of phosphorus. The load is distributed among phosphorus sources including background, nonpoint, and regulated storm water, municipal and industrial wastewater facilities, individual sewage disposal systems, and industrial sources. As a part of the control regulation, the Cherry Creek Basin Water Quality Authority (CCBWQA) is authorized to implement and maintain a trading program that allows phosphorus trading and the sale of phosphorus (kg/lb) in the Cherry Creek watershed. The trading program allows dischargers seeking new or increased phosphorus waste load allocations to obtain additional kilograms/pounds of phosphorus by constructing nonpoint source projects meeting certain criteria to immobilize phosphorus. This paper provides an overview of the CCBWQA trading program guidelin... |
