A discussion hosted by the U.S. Water Alliance Business Advisory Council
This discussion will highlight efforts to use watershed restoration actions to help meet new restrictions in water permits throughout the U.S. The presentations will cover water quality trading programs---analysis, design and implementation---in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the legal challenges to solving what the Clean Water Act was meant to solve. The case studies and examples will provide policy makers with background to make informed decisions on quantified restoration actions and credit trading for compliance.

Brent Fewell, Chair, Business Advisory Council, U.S. Water Alliance
Audience: Invited guests from the U.S. Water Alliance, Environmental Protection Agency, USDA, American Farm Bureau, American Farmland Trust, industry leaders, and elected members and staff interested in innovations around water quality improvements in America
