Section ENV.05.05 — Commission To Promulgate Ambient Air Quality Standards

(a) In addition to the other powers and duties enumerated in this article, the Commission shall have the power to adopt, promulgate, amend, and modify such standards for the quality of ambient air as may be appropriate or necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article, including but not limited to:

(1) Standards which describe the maximum concentrations of specifically described contaminants that can be tolerated, consistent with the protection of the good health of the public at large; such standards may differ for different parts of the reservation as may be necessitated by variations in altitude, topography, climate, or meteorology;

(2) Standards which describe the air quality goals that are to be achieved by control programs within specified periods of time; such standards may be either reservation-wide or restricted to specified control areas; and

(3) Standards which describe varying degrees of contamination of ambient air.

(b) Ambient air standards shall include such requirements for test methods and procedures as will assure that the samples of ambient air tested are representative of the ambient air.
