Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and the UPEP Environmental Institution Spring 2012 Seminar Series

Join the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and the UPEP Environmental Institution spring 2012 seminar series featuring leading experts discussing a variety of pressing environmentally focused topics.Mark Kieser, Senior Scientist and Principal at Kieser & Associates, LLC, will present a talk titled "Don't call a timeout when you don't have one - Why we continue to battle for water quality trading."For decades, water quality trading has been pursued as a flexible compliance mechanism for cost-effective watershed management. To date, however, successful trading is only being applied in a handful of locations in the U.S. This presentation explores the state of water quality trading markets, what has been missing, and what is on the horizon. Working on trading programs throughout North America since 1995, Mr. Kieser will share experiences of his relentless pursuit of this somewhat elusive tool, and forecast the growing need that he sees for trading to address Gulf Hypoxia, TMDLs, stormwater regulations and nutrient standards.
