Across the country, regional haze has decreased the visual range from 140 miles to 35-90 miles in the West, and from 90 miles to 15 -25 miles in the East. Regional haze is air pollution that is transported long distances, causing reduced visibility in national parks and wilderness areas.

This guidance manual describes the process that an Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) applicant should follow in selecting the Best Available Demonstrated Control Technology (BADCT) for a specific mining facility and site in accordance with Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S) 49-243.B.1.
