N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 19-0911: Final control target

§ 19-0911. Final control target.

1. a. In the absence of a controlling federal statute or program which

the commissioner determines is consistent with the purpose and intent of

this title, the department shall formulate, no later than January first,

nineteen hundred ninety-one, a final control target to bring about

reductions in the state's contribution to the total sulfate deposition

at each sensitive receptor area.

b. As part of such determination, the commissioner shall provide a

written analysis of any actions taken or being contemplated by states

that border on or are to the east of the Mississippi river or by the

Canadian provinces of Ontario or Quebec and the potential or estimated

effect of any such action on acid deposition in sensitive receptor

areas.

c. Any such final control target formulated pursuant to this

subdivision shall be submitted, in the form of legislative

recommendations, to the governor and the legislature.

2. The department shall not adopt or implement the final control

target until such time as further specific statutory authorization shall

have been enacted, except that any such final control target shall

permit the use of all reasonable sulfur dioxide emission control

techniques as identified in subdivision two of section 19-0909 of this

title.
