Once air quality monitoring and assessment work has identified emission sources and their relative contributions to poor air quality, the goal will be to:
- ensure that existing commercial and industrial sources are using the best technology available to treat air emissions;
- use Pollution Prevention Plans to systematically reduce point and non-point (diffuse) sources of industrial pollution;
- implement dust control measures at strategic locations in the airshed;
- institute better regulation of all types of burning; and
- suggest innovative approaches to reducing emissions from all types of motor vehicles.
