Air Quality
ROUNDTABLE
Baker Creek Enhancement Society
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.
