Washington, D.C. – The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requesting that the Agency review and update its 2003 Water Quality Trading Policy.  In the letter, NACWA recommends a series of changes to the Policy that would encourage greater market formation and broader market participation that includes nonpoint sources.  Most notably, NACWA cites concerns it has that EPA’s Policy appears to focus primarily on linking water quality trading to implementation of total maximum daily loads.  As the letter states, a waterbody impairment should not have to be declared for trading to be utilized.

This effort comes out of NACWA’s newly formed Water Quality Trading Working Group, which was created to promote the use of water quality trading and think strategically about how to overcome some of trading’s main barriers.

A recent report by Verify Markets indicates that the U.S. Water and Wastewater analytical markets are expected to show steady growth between 2011 and 2018.  The market, already estimated at over $320 million in 2011, is expected to continue to grow largely due to factors including water reuse, environmental regulations, and labor costs associated with water management and wastewater management.

The pH market was the largest among the segments followed by the conductivity market.  Other measured markets include Total Organic Carbon (TOC), turbidity and total phosphorus and total nitrogen, which are considered still in their infancy.
