Over-Conversion Credits (OCCs) are offered to permittees with an approved Groundwater Reduction Plan (GRP) upon submission of proof that the permittee used more alternative water than required by the regulatory plan during the permit term.
OCCs may be earned by permittees whose total over conversion exceeds 10MG and GRP administrators. OCCs for Regional Water Suppliers are earned through the permit reconciliation process described in the District Rules. OCCs may be earned through any combination of alternative water use, including treated surface water, reclaimed water, or other District-approved alternative water management strategy.
Specific requirements and conditions for the transfer of OCCs are set forth in the District Rules and Regulatory Plan.
