. The Legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:
(a) District enforcement programs should be prioritized to ensure
that the imposition of civil and criminal penalties is commensurate
with the severity of the violation.
(b) Districts shall endeavor to establish, where appropriate,
alternatives to civil or criminal penalties for those circumstances
in which the violation neither contributes to, nor potentially
conceals, an emission that significantly contributes to unhealthful
air quality.
