Sec. 250.5. Air pollution episode—forecast stage dated August 17, 1973

I, Henry L. Diamond, Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York, have found after investigation that the ambient levels of air contaminants and weather conditions are such that a danger to the health and welfare of the People of the State exists, and that it would be prejudicial to the interests of the People of the State to delay action until an opportunity for a hearing could be provided.

This Order shall apply to the following counties of the State: Richmond, Kings, Queens, Bronx, New York County, Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster.
