Description The federal strategy for visibility protection called for a two-phased effort. Phase 1 was designed to deal with visibility impairment in mandatory Class 1 federal areas that is easily attributable to distinct plumes from large stationary sources or groups of stationary sources (often called "plume blight"). Phase 2 regulations are designed to deal with visibility impairment resulting from regional haze, the widespread impairment of visibility from the combined emissions of all sources including mobile area, small stationary sources, and urban plumes.
