Wyoming Statutes Title 35. Public Health and Safety § 35-11-202. Establishment of standards

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Without limiting the authority of the administrator as set out in W.S. 35-11-110, he shall, after consultation with the advisory board, recommend to the director such ambient air standards or emission control requirements by rule or regulation, as may be necessary to prevent, abate, or control pollution. Such standards or requirements may be for the state as a whole or may vary from area to area, as may be appropriate to facilitate accomplishment of the purposes of this act, and in order to take account of varying local conditions.

(b) In recommending such standards or requirements the administrator shall:

(i) Consider all the facts and circumstances bearing upon the reasonableness of the emissions involved, including:

(A) The character and degree of injury to, or interference with the health and physical well being of the people, animals, wildlife and plant life;

(B) The social and economic value of the source of pollution;

(C) The priority of location in the area involved;

(D) The technical practicability and economic reasonableness of reducing or eliminating the pollution; and

(E) The social welfare and aesthetic value.

(ii) Grant such time as he shall find to be reasonable and necessary for owners and operators of air contaminant sources to comply with applicable standards or requirements;

(iii) Recommend to the director, after consultation with the advisory board, regulations to prevent construction, modification or operation of any source at any location where emissions from such source will prevent the attainment or maintenance of a state or national standard.
