An Innovative Approach to Generate Funding and Promote Stormwater Capture and Use: Stormwater Credit Programs
Stormwater Credit Programs provide municipalities with a novel funding mechanism by selling credits from regional stormwater capture projects to regulated dischargers. These programs support project funding, maintenance, and regulatory compliance while offering benefits like improved water quality, hydrologic function, groundwater recharge, and cost-effective operations. This panel features experts from approved programs in California, such as Anaheim and Contra Costa County, sharing insights on development, stakeholder engagement, regulatory processes, and lessons learned. Attendees will gain practical strategies for leveraging this innovative approach to sustainable stormwater management.
