La. Admin. Code tit. 33, § III-929 - Violation of Emission Regulations Cannot Be Authorized

A. The standards of ambient air quality listed in Tables 1 and 1a define the limits of air contamination by particulates and gases. No person or group of persons shall allow particulate matter or gases to become airborne in amounts which cause the ambient air quality standards to be exceeded. The limits stated include normal background levels of particulates and gases.

B. Nothing in any other part or section of these regulations shall in any manner be construed as authorizing or legalizing emissions in such manner as prohibited by these regulations. For example, compliance with ambient air quality standards does not authorize emissions in excess of emission limitations.
