Ky. Rev. Stat. § 224.20-120
In exercising the power conferred upon it by this chapter the Energy and Environment Cabinet shall give due recognition to the policy as heretofore expressed in KRS 224.20-100. The cabinet, in fixing standards, shall require the use of all available, practical, and reasonable methods to prevent and control air pollution in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It shall give due recognition to the quantity of characteristics of air contaminants or the duration of their presence in the atmosphere. It shall take into consideration in this connection such factors, among others, found by it to be proper and just, existing physical conditions, public benefit, that the degree of conformance therewith that may be proper as to an essentially residential area of the state may not be proper as to a highly industrial area of the state, and, further, the relationship between the intensity and composition of air pollution and the health of the public and damage to or interference with enjoyment of property. It shall give reasonable consideration to the interests of all parties concerned.
