Abstract
One of the more controversial provisions of the Clean Air Act is Part C, Title 1, which establishes a program for the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality in regions of the country that meet the national ambient air quality standards for protecting public health and welfare. In this article, a case history of the PSD program in North Dakota is summarized with the purpose of using the history to understand PSD, the problems encountered in its implementation, and the opportunities it provides for protecting air quality while accommodating industrial development. In North Dakota, the ability of such a relatively small state to work flexibly with industry to find solutions that accommdate both industrial expansion and protection of air quality demonstrates that PSD can be an effective tool for achieving these goals.
