Air Pollutants and Control Strategies

Control strategies are methods to control air pollutants that are documented in the form of plans implemented by the CTDEP.  The CTDEP Bureau of Air Management, Planning and Standards Division and the Stationary Source Control Group continue to reassess control strategies to ensure that given the ambient air quality monitoring data being received, and continually updated federal requirements found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), that the CTDEP is appropriately regulating air quality to protect public health and the environment. 
 
The CTDEP must consider mobile and stationary sources, air pollution transport, regional planning efforts, multi-pollutant impacts, and federal proposals published in the Federal Register.  Control Strategies are continually evolving, beyond the traditional criteria pollutants, to encompass energy efficiency and other economic drivers.  Some of the control strategies are made federally enforceable by their incorporation into the Connecticut State implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality.

Due to the regional nature of many air pollution control issues, multi-state entities are coordinating much of the development of pre-policy documentation and associated regulatory templates for consideration at the state government level.  An opportunity to review and comment at the regional level is ideal, for state government as well as members of the public.  Two such organizations providing regional coordination are Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC).
