Miscellaneous Resolution
BY JOHN P. CALANDRO
IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO THE CLEAN AIR ACT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Clean Air Act has resulted in significant air quality improvements;
and
WHEREAS, while the Act has resulted in improvements, the Act requires procedures
such as those necessary for approving new industrial projects and Federal review
and approval of State plans, which have proved burdensome and do not contribute. to
air improvements; and
WHEREAS, certain deadlines and standards are unrealistic for certain areas of the
County and can only be achieved within the time frames specified at tremendous costs
for relatively small improvements; and
WHEREAS, the carbon monoxide. and nitrous oxide requirements on new automobiles
are excessively stringent, costly, and would only have minimum impact; and
WHEREAS, to continue the procedural excesses, rigid deadlines and strict sin In
aspect standards are economically damaging to the nation as a whole and the heavy
industrial states in particular and would not result in significant or necessarily
measurable air quality improvements; and
WHEREAS, Michigan in particular would be severely impacted if the Clean Air Act
is not amended; and
WHEREAS, H.P. 5252 addresses the problem areas with the Clean Air Act while not
diminishing the purpose or effectiveness of the Act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go on
record as supporting the concepts embraced in H.R. 5252 and is calling for the passage
of H.R.5252,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Michigan's
Congressional Delegation,
NW. Chairperson, 1 move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
