Contra Costa and Anaheim pilots show credit trading can accelerate stormwater capture, but permit rules and watershed boundaries pose risks Two regional pilots — Contra Costa’s REC system and Anaheim’s municipal credit bank — are already moving from design into limited implementation: Contra Costa has a JPA/CFD rollout planned; Anaheim reports roughly $5M in credits sold.
