Common use of Program Linkage to Environmental Goal/Objectives Clause in Contracts

Program Linkage to Environmental Goal/Objectives. Trends in air quality gauge the success of the air pollution control program. These trends are determined from a combination of air quality measurements and emission estimates. The planned program objectives and program activities of the air program contained in this agreement will contribute in a variety of ways to the improvements reflected in those trends. For example, the declining trend in air quality exceedances and the steadily improving air quality conditions measured through the Air Quality Index provide an indication of the quality of the pollution control regulations and the effectiveness of the compliance assurance program. Emission trends illustrate the direct relationship between the control program and reductions of the targeted pollutants in the atmosphere. A summary of our environmental goals, environmental objectives, and the measures that demonstrate progress towards these goals and objectives follows: Environmental Goal Illinois should be free of air pollutants at levels that cause significant risk of cancer or respiratory or other health problems. The air should be cleaner (i.e., less), and the impact of airborne pollutants on the quality of water and on plant life should be reduced.
