                             INTRODUCTION


     This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.  The Federally enforceable
regulations contained in the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands).  They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in the Federal
Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
indicated in the Federal Register.  Regulations which fall into one of
the above categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated.  As
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually.   State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.

     There have been recent changes in the Federal enforceability of
parking management regulations and indirect source regulations.  The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing legislation.  Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended indefinitely.  Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments, indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP.  Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source regulations contained in an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable.  More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which are specific to Federally
funded, operated, or owned facilities or projects.  Therefore, the
Federally promulgated indirect source regulations appearing in this
document are not enforceable by EPA except as they relate to Federal
facilities.

     Since State air quality regulations vary widely in their organization,
content, and language, a standardized subject index is utilized in this
document.  Index listings consist of both contaminant and activity oriented
categories to facilitate usage.  For example, for regulations which apply
to copper smelters, one might look under sulfur compounds (50.2), particu-
late matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters (51.15).  Federal
regulations pertaining to a given State immediately follow the approved
State and local regulations.

     Additionally, a summary sheet of the information included in each
comprehensive document is presented prior to the regulatory text to
allow one to quickly assess the contents of the document.  Specifically,
the summary sheets contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision
                                 111

-------
to the SIP and the date of the Federal Register in which the revision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA".Finally, a brief description
or reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.

     This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given regulation.  As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation of those regulations
which are incorporated directly or by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code Of Federal Regulations.  Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation.  Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this
document does not, in itself, render the regulation enforceable.

-------
            ,  contaminant limited by these Rules and Regulations cannot exceed the
              quantity which would be the allowable emission through a single
 ,    ,         emission point; the total emitted quantity of any such air contaminant
              shall be taken as the product of the highest concentration measured
              in any of the emission points and the combined exhaust gas volume
              through all emission points, unless the person responsible for the
              source operation establishes, to the satisfaction of the Air Pollution
              Control Officer, the correct total emitted quantity.

         (b)  If air contaminants from two or more source operations are combined
              prior to emission, and there are adequate and reliable means reasonably
              susceptible to confirmation and use by the Air Pollution Control
              Officer for establishing a separation of the components of the combined
              emission to indicate the nature, extent, quantity and degree of emission
              arising from each such source operation, these Rules and Regulations
              shall apply to each such source operation separately.

         (c)  If air contaminants from two or more source operations are combined
              prior to emission, and the combined emissions cannot be separated
              according to the requirements of Rule 421 (b), these Rules and
              Regulations shall be applied to the combined emission as if it originated
              in a single source operation subject to the more stringent limitations
              and requirements placed by these Rules and Regulations on any of the
              source operations whose air contaminants are so combined.
