Transferring ERCs in Feather River AQMD

The district's own procedure, step by step, from its rules and forms (checked 2026-10-04). Every deal room on the Exchange follows these steps.

1. Buyer and seller agree terms privately; the District does not take part in or receive funds from the transaction (source)
2. The registered owner (seller) applies to the District for the transfer; no transfer may occur until the APCO approves (Rule 10.2 F.2, F.3) (source)
3. Pay the $30 transfer filing fee per certificate, plus any additional processing costs the District assesses ($92/hour) (source)
4. If the ERCs go to a stationary source for use as offsets, the seller reports the price in $/ton per pollutant (Rule 10.2 F.6) (source)
5. For an out-of-district transfer within the same air basin, get approval of both District Boards (source)
6. District issues a new certificate, cancels the original and records the cancellation in the banking register (Rule 10.2 F.2) (source)

Restrictions the district states: Rule 10.2 F.3: "no transfers shall be made until application is made to the District and approved by the APCO." Leases or temporary transfers are allowed if the District has procedures to adjust the ERC at lease end. (source) · Rule 10.2 B.1: all emission reductions must be transferred through the District's ERC bank; B.3 provides for "intra-basin transfer and use of banked ERCs." (source) · Inter-district: ERCs are generally restricted to the generating district; ERCs "within two Air Districts in the same Air Basin can be transferred with the approval of both District Boards"; approval of individual out-of-district transfers "is a legislative act of the Board." (source) · Rule 10.2 (10.2.1) open biomass burning ERCs used to offset projects in another district must be implemented through an inter-district agreement; biomass ERC certificates are valid only once recorded as a condition of the parcel deed (D.7). (source) · Rule 10.2 E.2: ERCs the applicant restricted to its own future use at the same parcel/site must have the restriction removed (paying District re-issue costs) before transfer to others. (source) · Rule 10.2 F.5: shutdown/curtailment ERCs cannot offset major-source modifications unless replacement or 180-day filing conditions are met. (source) · No discount at transfer stated; Rule 10.2 E.1's 5% set-aside applies before ERCs are granted. The District says "Federal" ERCs (Rule 10.9 as amended Oct 2014) are "more easily transferred" than "Non Federal" ERCs. (source) · District publishes an ERC Registry (updated December 15, 2025) by owner and certificate; no prices shown. (source)

How ERCs work in Feather River AQMD

Emission Reduction Credits are banked, district-certified reductions in NOx, ROG/VOC, PM10, SOx, or CO. Businesses building or expanding in the district may be required under New Source Review to purchase ERCs to offset new emissions before an air permit issues. Credits are generally usable only within Feather River AQMD (or its air basin with district board approval, Health & Safety Code §40709.6), which is why local scarcity sets the price. The district verifies reductions and records every transfer.
