Protecting visibility under the Clean Air Act
Title
Protecting visibility under the Clean Air Act
Date
1985
Summary
The Clean Air Act prevents visibility impairment - changes in visual range, contrast, and coloration caused by human activities - in three distinct programs: (1) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), (2) prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) in areas cleaner than the national standards, and (3) visibility protection in pristine areas such as National Parks. The 1970 amendments to the Act authorized the first program; the 1977 amendments made the second an express statutory requirement and authorized the third program. Since the Clean Air Act drew attention to visual air quality, researchers have defined the various aspects of visibility, determined visibility trends in different regions of the country, described its value, identified regions where visibility has special significance and thus where it must receive immediate regulatory attention. Regulators, moreover, have initiated the first phase of what will be a comprehensive visibility protection program for pristine parts of the country, mandatory Class I areas. This program extends some of the features found in the NAAQS and PSD programs and may have implications for visibility protection nationwide.

. No. X. February 12, 1796. Contentment. Hoards after hoards his rising raptures fill, yet still he sighs, for hoards are wanting still. Goldsmith. Contentment is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this life. He may have great riches and a great name; but he cannot be happy without contentment. For what good can The Indies do a man, who is not satisfied with them, but continually seeks for more

Riches are commonly mistaken for happiness and are imagined my many to be the only philosopher’s stone. But the fate of those, who possess the imaginary bliss, plainly evince the contrary.

[recto] independence of our Republic. Let us vindicate the rights of man, and our independence, by a sacred adherence to liberty, and the principles of a free government; and prepare an asylum for mankind, from the relentless cruelty and ambition of unprincipled tyrants and oppressors. Liberty! Thou celestial Goddess of political happiness, extend thine empire! Under thy banners let all nations find a refuge. Banish despotism from the earth! — abolish the ensigns of tyranny — Inspire in human hearts the love of mankind — Annihilate the enmities, discord, and divisions, which have so long separated the nations of the earth, and involved them in wars and confusion: so that in the morning of the ninteenth century, we may behold all mankind united into one great Republic, by the eternal bonds of nature, and enjoying the universal peace, happiness, and tranquility of the regenerated world.

It enables him to endure, without murmuring, that state which would otherwise be intolerable. It heightens the enjoyments of prosperity; and lessens all our griefs and afflictions. Ambitious and worldly men enjoy but very little solid happiness. Uneasy with their present condition, they spend their days in the hopes of vain and imaginary enjoyments; till at last, death puts end to their ambitious projects, and prevents them from ever acquiring the desired happiness. They lose the comfort of their present enjoyments, by grieving themselves with foolish wishes, and flattering themselves with vain hopes, till their whole lives are spent, without affording any comfort to others, and becoming a burthen to themselves. But if they are contented, they may enjoy a continual satisfaction. And tho’

[verso] {..} and enslave them. And assuming a new power over the inhabitants of these states, they imposed taxes upon them, without their consent; altered many essential points of their government; and grasped at an absolute power over the American empire. Such streaches of power soon alarmed the colonies: they began to consider the consequences of submitting to such rigorous measures. They petitioned for a redress of grievances, and pursued every reasonable measure for a restoration of their former liberty; but nothing had any effect. The British King and his parliament continued unmoved at every complaint, and refused to hear any thing they could urge in their favor. Therefore, resistance, or slavery being the terms propounded to them, they chose the former. They esteemed freedom as their native right,- as the inseparable companion
