In a challenge to two rules adopted by respondent-Air Pollution Control District (District), trial court’s judgment in favor of District is affirmed as the District had the power to adopt the indirect source review (ISR), intended to encourage developers to reduce indirect pollution caused by new development projects, and the fees imposed pursuant to those rules are valid regulatory fees.
