Acknowledgments

      This project benefited from the dedication, enthusiasm, creativity, and technical knowledge of the participants in the Effluent Trading Pilot Team of the New Jersey Chemical Industry Project. Through the efforts of the Pilot Team, the expertise and perspectives of industry, regulatory agencies, and environmental groups have been incorporated throughout the definition, implementation, and documentation of this pilot project. The Pilot Team would like to thank the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners for implementing effluent trading in their service area, as well as Robert J. Davenport, the Commissioners' Executive Director, for encouraging his staff to participate in this project and allowing them to invest the time necessary to complete it successfully.

In addition, the following Pilot Team members contributed their ideas and suggestions for improvement: Barry Bochner, Fabricolor, Inc.; Joseph Gentile, CasChem; Wayne Tamarelli, Dock Resins Corporation; Daniel Watts, New Jersey Institute of Technology; and Ella Fillippone, Passaic River Coalition. We would also like to thank the EPA staff members who contributed to this report, especially those from the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation, Industry Strategies Division and Emerging Strategies Division; Office of Water, Permits Division and Assessment and Watershed Protection Division; and Region 2, Division of Environmental Planning and Protection and Division of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance. The success of this pilot project is a result of valuable contributions from the entire Pilot Team.
