Assessing and Mitigating Impacts of Fine Particulate Matter Emissions (PM2.5)
New York State, Dept. of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Division of Air Resources Commissioner's Policy to Control Fine Particulate Emissions.

The methodology set forth in this policy is consistent with the State Environmental Quality Review Act, represents a correct interpretation of its mandates, provides guidance on the project-specific assessment of fine particulate matter impacts and details when mitigation of such impacts may be necessary.
