The plan consists of the following sections which are presented here: Legal authority; Episode Criteria, Episode Action Plan, Operational Procedures, Organizational Interfaces/Communications. From the evidence resulting from evaluation of air quality data and identification of major pollution sources, it is concluded that the threat of episodes are greatest in the follwoing three areas, at the present time: Total suspended particulates in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Carbon monoxide in Center City of Fairbanks, Oxides of sulfur in the Ketchikan Area. The Plan is designated as a mechanism for indicating public action, issuing public warning, and attempting to reduce levels of a specific pollutant concentration by reducing major source emissions.
