Latest version.
  • 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.
