The way the Clean Air Act is written provides for different degress of 
regulation in different areas depending on air quality.  This makes 
sense because, even though there is a certain amount of mixing, it is 
not "all the same air."  It makes no sense to require the same degree 
(and cost) of regulation out in some rural county in Wyoming with no 
industry and 53 cars than it does in LA.

The implementation may not be perfect, but the concept is sound.
