- (1) The purpose of this chapter is to place reasonable limits on the amount of emissions an air contaminant source can emit due to a malfunction or during startup or shutdown of said source. Without such limits in many parts of the state and specifically in nonattainment areas, air quality standards will not be met and public health and welfare will be endangered.
