I. The department shall implement an integrated, multi-pollutant strategy to reduce air emissions from affected sources.
II. The integrated, multi-pollutant strategy shall be implemented in a market-based fashion that allows trading and banking of emission reductions to comply with the overall statewide annual emission caps established under RSA 125-O:3, III. Allowances, up to the amount of these caps, shall be allocated to each affected source based on the output of each affected source. The department shall make publicly available all allocations prior to the effective date of such allocations.

(a) 7,289 tons annually applicable to total sulfur dioxide (SO
