§ 650.91   Air pollution abatement and control.

(a) Existing fixed sources of air emission are subject to Federal and State standards promulgated under the Clean Air Act. Those facilities found not in compliance with such standards are to be promptly identified and reported in accordance with the procedures outlined in subpart J of this part. The programming and budgeting for remedial projects will conform with established procedures as in AR 37–40, AR 415–15, AR 415–25 and AR 420–10.

(b) New fixed sources or major modification to existing facilities which are a source of air emissions will be designed in accordance with applicable standards. Consultation with or review by State authorities on such projects will be through the Regional Administrator of EPA at the earliest practicable time in the planning process. Further, the State air pollution control agencies will establish significant air quality deterioration zones to control the introduction of pollutants into a specified area. Deterioration zones apply only to specific category of pollutant such as particulates or nitric oxides. Zones will be established by the State and are as follows:

Zone I—Very little to zero deterioration.

Zone II—Moderate deterioration.

Zone III—May deteriorate up to the national maximum.

Implementation of these standards for Federal facilities is through the EPA review of preconstruction plans. This regulation significantly increases the power of States to control land use patterns. Therefore, all Army plans for development and expansion of facilities must consider the deterioration zone within which the affected installation is located. (40 CFR part 52).

(c) Emissions from new mobile sources such as vehicle and aircraft engines will be regulated at the time of manufacture and certified in accordance with Federal regulations issued by EPA. The alteration or removal of such emission controls installed on Army equipment is prohibited.

(d) The retrofit of military vehicles not equipped with emission control devices at the time of manufacture may be required by State regulation. Commanders of installations where such controls are required will take appropriate action to have such vehicles retrofitted and to insure that vehicles without emission controls are not operated unless a waiver or exemption as specified in §650.95 is approved.
