Abstract |
Emission density zoning (EDZ) is an air pollution control strategy that sets emission limits for certain areas of land; these limits restrict the rate of pollutant emission per unit area (such as grams per second per hectare). This report examines legal issues involving EDZ. Many of the legal arguments applied to EDZ, and the conclusions reached, also may be applied to other types of land-use-based emission quota strategies, such as floating zone emission quotas, jurisdictional emission quotas, and district emission quotas. EDZ can be considered as either a land-use or air pollution control technique; each interpretation raises different legal questions. EDZ probably would be upheld as a valid technique under the Clean Air Act and its amendments, but modifications of state air pollution control or land-use-management enabling legislation may be needed to ensure implementation. EDZ also raises constitutional questions of equal protection and due process, but these issues largely depend on the particular administrative mechanisms used to implement EDZ. Legal issues also may arise if EDZ is considered a pollution dispersal rather than a pollution abatement strategy. The legal questions concerning EDZ may best be resolved through explicit state enabling legislation that clearly delegates authority to local, regional, and state agencies, and establishes strong mechanisms for intergovernmental coordination. |
