Ambient Control!
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), appears to be more harm based!•
1) List criteria pollutant!◦
2) Set Harm!◦
3) SIP -> state has to propose, chance it could be rejected and then you keep trying again!◦
if it goes really poorly, then you get a FIP (a deterrent) !‣

STATE CONTROL
Ambient Control!
Air Quality Control Region!•
state can set attainment and nonattaiment regions to identity which areas are struggling the most!◦
carving up the state!◦
different standards set for individual polluters in each area!◦
states respond to obligations to meet the NAAQS, divide the state into different areas!◦
!
1) we have NAAQS!•
2) AQCR!•
both federal and state laws that influence tech or practices they have to implement in the regions !•
3) depends on whether you are a new source or existing source!•
!
Mechanism !
SIPS!•

Air Quality !
attainment/nonattainment!•
states can't say that they disagree with the Federal mandates (lead isn't dangerous)!•
!
Permitted Standard!
PSD and NSR!•
