Title 9 - State Acid Deposition Control Act
19-0911 - Final Control Target.

1. a. In the absence of a controlling federal statute or program which
the commissioner determines is consistent with the purpose and intent of
this title, the department shall formulate, no later than January first,
nineteen hundred ninety-one, a final control target to bring about
reductions in the state's contribution to the total sulfate deposition
at each sensitive receptor area.

b. As part of such determination, the commissioner shall provide a
written analysis of any actions taken or being contemplated by states
that border on or are to the east of the Mississippi river or by the
Canadian provinces of Ontario or Quebec and the potential or estimated
effect of any such action on acid deposition in sensitive receptor
areas.

c. Any such final control target formulated pursuant to this
subdivision shall be submitted, in the form of legislative
recommendations, to the governor and the legislature.

2. The department shall not adopt or implement the final control
target until such time as further specific statutory authorization shall
have been enacted, except that any such final control target shall
permit the use of all reasonable sulfur dioxide emission control
techniques as identified in subdivision two of section 19-0909 of this
title.
