To establish conditions for air pollution nonattainment area offsets. This relates to a federal finding that a large section of western Michigan may be forced to undertake drastic pollution reduction strategies as a result of pollution drifting west from Chicago. The “offsets” are pollution “credits” that may be purchased by a facility where emissions reductions are difficult, from one that has already reduced or eliminated emissions.
