                       TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
              CHAPTER V--DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 650--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT (AR 200-1)--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D--Air Pollution Abatement
 
Sec. 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 Sec. 650.95 is approved.
