The Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Game & Fish Department and the Arizona State Parks Board are required to conduct a study every three years on watercraft fuel consumption and recreational watercraft usage. The fuel consumption data is collected to determine the allocation of motor vehicle fuel tax to the State Lake Improvement Fund. The information on recreational watercraft usage patterns on Arizona’s lakes and rivers is necessary, in part, to determine the distribution of SLIF funds to applicants.

The Office Air Quality, acting for the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, is responsible for determining each regulated air pollution source’s capability and continuing ability to comply with air pollution source's emission rules; and any terms of conditional permits issued by the Arizona Air Pollution Control Hearing Board. This applies to all sources under the jurisdiction of the Department in matters of air pollution control. Performance tests, and/or visible emissions observations by agency personnel, are required to assure that sources are compliant with all applicable emission limitations at all major emission points before air pollution source operating permit are issued or renewed.
