Under
the Clean Air Act, air resource managers have an “affirmative responsibility to
protect air quality related values (including visibility)” from the adverse effects of air pollution. This responsibility
is carried out by providing information about air quality conditions in our forests to Federal Land Managers and the public;
providing advice and technical assistance to state, federal, and tribal regulatory agencies; working cooperatively through
partnerships with stakeholders in the development of air pollution control strategies; and promoting pollution prevention
practices within our National Forests.
