The air quality requirements for land development vary depending on the location and type of development. However, a few general requirements are:
1. Compliance with national and state air quality standards, such as those established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
2. Limiting emissions from stationary sources, such as factories and power plants, to meet air quality standards.
3. Ensuring that transportation infrastructure, such as roads and highways, are designed to minimize emissions from vehicles.
4. Implementing best management practices (BMPs) to minimize dust and other airborne pollutants associated with construction activities.
5. Conducting air quality monitoring to measure levels of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants associated with development activities.
6. Submitting air quality plans and reports to regulatory agencies as required to demonstrate compliance with applicable air quality requirements.
7. Providing mitigation measures, such as planting trees or installing air pollution control devices, to minimize the impact of development on air quality.
