Section 45-11-1 - General1.1. It is the intent of the Director to provide a mechanism to prevent the buildup of air pollutant concentrations during periods of adverse meteorological conditions in which air pollutants may accumulate, thereby preventing the occurrence of an emergency due to the effects of these pollutants on health. To achieve this purpose, three (3) stages of criteria (pollutant concentration levels) have been established and specific emission reduction plans will be developed which will be initiated at each criteria stage to prevent further deterioration of the air supply to any air quality region or substantial portion thereof.1.2.
