Need Tehama County APCD credits for an air permit?
Tell the desk the pollutant, the tons per year and the permit date. You get a written supply check: the register certificates that look like candidates (each one pending the district's eligibility review for your project), whether their holders have confirmed availability, the last recorded prices in the district's own units, the transfer steps and fee, and how payment and transfer timing are set (by the written transaction agreement between buyer and seller; the Exchange never holds funds). No fee for the check, and your request is not published.
Banked ERC certificates of record, 24 across 14 holders
From the district's register (District ERC Registry, Nov 5, 2026, with the ERC Bank log of Nov 24, 2025 (records-request responses). Quantities are pounds per quarter (lb/qtr), as the district logs them; void, cancelled and transferred certificates excluded.). Register edition retrieved 2026-11-05 (received under a public-records request; the district does not post it online); every certificate is mirrored, with its own page. These are banked credits, the registry shows what exists, not what the holder has committed to sell. Open the interactive registry to search, view pollutant breakdowns, and send an inquiry.

How ERCs work in Tehama County APCD
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 Tehama County APCD (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.
